[jira] (MASSEMBLY-343) add symbolic links managment

     [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-343?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Dennis Lundberg updated MASSEMBLY-343:
--------------------------------------

        Description: 
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 différent names. extract of archive will not be the exactly the same as the source of the archive. => this is a test !
