Hitanjan Sarkar commented on MASSEMBLY-343:
-------------------------------------------
Sure Kristian, will do.
Thanks !!!
Any idea of the tentative date when 2.5.2 might be released ?
Also, there is a corresponding outstanding issue on the dependency plugin,
tracked here - http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-68
Would you be the right person to ask about this too ?
>From whatever little I seem to have gathered on this, since the plexus-io and
>plexus-archiver plugins have this fix in, the dependency plugin would probably
>need to be re-released with the updated plexus dependencies or something
>similar ?
> add symbolic links managment (java7+ only supported)

> i need to buid archives ( tar for example ) with symbolic links
> the plugin build an archive with a file containing the destination of the
> link, not the link itself
> => the plugin need an option to know if deferencement of links is needed
> this is just like -h option of tar
> -h, --dereference
> don't dump symlinks; dump the files they point to
> actually, if you do an archive of /lib, for example, many file will be in
> double with diff̮̩rent names. extract of archive will not be the
> exactly the same as the source of the archive. => this is a test !
