Can we add syncing of symlinks to the rsync command?
That would involve changing the default rsync_options in macports.conf to include
"-l", then releasing a new version of MacPorts, then hoping that no user had
modified that setting.
I'm not sure if there are any security or other negative implications of using the
"-l" option.
Generally we just copy the patch into each port where it's needed.
I ended up doing that.
We should add a svn pre-commit hook that prevents symlinks from being
checked into the ports directory to avoid people not realizing it won't
work.
