>                 Key: MOJO-1308
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-1308
>             Project: Mojo
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: rpm
>            Reporter: Are Gravbrøt
>            Priority: Minor
>
> In many cases it is necessary to add softlinks in the rpm complete software 
> installation. 
> Today that can be accomplished by adding scripts containing ln -s statements.
> However, there is a significant drawback in doing it this way, since the 
> %files section of the SPEC file is not updated to reflect this.
> This leads to creating files that are not reported by rpm -ql.
> To remedy this, I suggest adding a feature to enable the addition of 
> softlinks in the configuration section.
> Ex. 
> <softlinkmapping><target>/sometarget</target><source>/somesource</source></softlinkmapping>
> The spec file can be updated in the following way:
> %install
> ln -s /somesource $RPM_BUILD/sometarget
> %files
> /sometarget
