Andy Seaborne commented on JENA-1735:
-------------------------------------
Hi there - BSD has readlink nowadays - it's OSX where you need to install (a a
gnu-compatible readlink is available - but we don't want to require that being
installed).
What's the usual idiom for this? In my trawl (StackOveflow and elsewhere) I
didn't come across a single idiom, though "$( cd ; pwd -P)" is
Would you be open to using the way as the cmd scripts? Use "readlink -f" when
available. It's not critical, it's just because, in the long term, common
patterns are helpful.

> Key: JENA-1735
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-1735
> Project: Apache Jena
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Fuseki
> Affects Versions: Fuseki 2.5.0
> Environment: Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic)
> Debian 9 (stretch)
> Reporter: Colin Gross
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: easyfix
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 50m

> Symlinking to executables or scripts from a PATH directory is a common
> practice. This is some sysadmins perfered method as it makes updating the
> fuseki version just redirecting a symlink.
> This needs to run on both GNU and BSD based systems (e.g. OSX), so using
> readlink is a tricky wicket. It it doesn't behave the same on both, nor are
> the meaning of the flags consistent between systems.
> Similar to issue JENA-1297
