#139: Existing symbolic links not deleted ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: eric9 Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: GetComponents | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Comment (by eschnett):
The "destination" is the symlink that is to be created. Since GetComponents never tries to create a symlink for the Cactus directory itself, this is not an issue. Creating a symlink inside a symlink works fine with the "-n" option; the only difference it makes is if the destination already exists. The destination is not the directory that will contain the symlink, but the symlink itself that is to be created.
