Hi, I want to tar up a symbolic linked directory as if it is a real directory. Is there any easy way to do it?
Let me explain with an example (that you can try): mkdir d1 touch d1/{a,b,c} ln -s c d1/d ln -s d1 d2 I want that the result tar file looks like this: tar -tvzf d2.tgz drwxrwx--x tong/tong 0 2009-05-01 09:38 d2/ -rw-rw---- tong/tong 0 2009-05-01 09:37 d2/a -rw-rw---- tong/tong 0 2009-05-01 09:37 d2/b -rw-rw---- tong/tong 0 2009-05-01 09:37 d2/c lrwxrwxrwx tong/tong 0 2009-05-01 09:38 d2/d -> c Any easy way to do it?
