ANT <copy> with <fileset> does not spot bad symlinks





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-07-23 18:03 -------
I think there is some possibility that JL may have a way to fix this, but more
consideration is needed. How does it react to things like named pipes and other
file system wierdos? Are these results true on all *nix's? What about across
different filesystems that may be mounted. And what about Cygwin?

JL, you might be interested to read bug 1550 for which I found a way to infer
the existance of Symlinks for the followsymlinks atribute. You will need to
answer the same types of questions before you can say that your method really
identifies broken symlinks only.

Even if it doesn't identify them specifically, it is possible that the other
things identified could be worth reporting with a warning, or even failing the
build.
