Hi!
I'd like to include several files into an org-mode project that live
outside the project tree. I tried to just symlink them into the
appropriate place into my project, and thought that might suffice to get
them published correctly, but that doesn't work out, as org-mode doesn't
consider the symlink's name, but the "true" filename; for example, I
have this:
(setq org-publish-project-alist
'(("homepage"
:base-directory "~/homepage"
:base-extension "org"
:publishing-directory "~/public_html"
...)
...))
% ls -l ~/homepage/software/SPE.org
lrwxrwxrwx 1 rotty rotty 26 Jul 14 15:01 /home/rotty/homepage/software/SPE.org
-> /home/rotty/src/spe/README
org-mode publishes this as ~/public_html/README.html, while I'd like it
to use ~/public_html/software/SPE.html.
After playing around with EDebug for a while, I've come up with the
following horrible hack, which does what I want, but is nowhere near a
general solution:
diff --git a/lisp/org-publish.el b/lisp/org-publish.el
index 38e1c7b..2c42685 100644

Is there a "proper" way to do this?
