Hi! We'll be using fai to upgrade our Woody workstations to Sarge and maintain them. But sometimes we'd like to create links on the target machine in the same way, we copy files via fcopy (because we have to generate a lot of them). Example: a relative link is located for example in $fairoot/files/etc/mylink.extension/MYCLASS and points to ../usr/local/myrealfile.extension. It should be copied as is and /etc/mylink.extension should remain as relative link. Current behavior is following the link and copying the target file.
We'd like to extend fcopy that it uses readlink/symlink to keep links intact if the parameter for example -H is present and the current file is a link. Has someone did something like this before? Is the dev-team interested in the patch? Bye, Patrick Cornelissen
