---------------------------------
Assignee: Maarten Coene
> ivy:retrieve should be able to create symlinks
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IVY-353
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-353
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 1.4.1
> Environment: Linux
> Reporter: John Williams
> Assigned To: Maarten Coene
> Attachments: retrieve-symlinks.patch
>
>
> It would be helpful if the "retrieve" task had an option to create symlinks
> on systems that support them. The symlinks could point to either the cache
> or a local repository (is useOrigin=true).
> My company has a very long number of small projects, many of which depend on
> some fairly large artifacts, so copying everything would be too slow and use
> up too much disk space to be practical. (We work around this now by using
> the "cachepath" task for instead of retrieve.)
