[jira] Created: (MDEP-68) Make dependency:unpack of tar files
support symlinks
Make dependency:unpack of tar files support symlinks
----------------------------------------------------
Key: MDEP-68
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-68
Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Steinar Bang
Assigned To: Brian Fox
Could dependency:unpack of tar file be made to support symlinks? The use case is deploying unix/linux shared libraries, with symlinks between different versions of the libraries.
The current behaviour is that the symlinks becomes 0 byte sized files.

(was: this is because excludes/includes configurations are are totally ignored by plexus-archiver's TarUnArchiver.
perhaps we can use mojo's truezip component from truezip-maven-plugin, instead of plexus archiver, which has a very flexible configuration and therefor could solve a bunch of issues related to unpack )

Manfred Moser commented on MDEP-68:
-----------------------------------
This should also be an option for the copy goal so that large files do not have to be copied from the local repo to a local path but rather just create a symlink. E.g. we have large database dumps in nexus and use them for regression tests. If a symlink could be created we would not have to copy them prior to restoring..

-----------------------------------
Another use case: Java runtime is packed as a tar.bz2 archive and is a maven module, other modules have dependency on it. Sun's JRE contains symlinks, so use of unpack-dependencies results in broken JRE :(.
