I have some relatively large data directories in my source tree which tend to be symlinked four different ways in the source tree to save disk space.
However, the source distribution tarball generated by make package_source is essentially 5 times too large because the symlinks are replaced with (redundant) real directories and files. I believe this is a bug/misfeature in 2.4.7 since symlinks should just be propagated from the source tree to the source distribution tarball (to save download bandwidth of the tarball and the user's disk space.) I don't know whether this issue occurs for older versions of CMake since I have never before had symlinks in the source tree to contend with. If somebody can come up with a quick fix, I would be glad to test it out. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
