Ø Will "cpio -dum" work in Windows? Pax is implemented natively on Windows, so use it by preference. It will understand that it will need to follow symlinks on Windows, seeing as windows has no concept of symlinks.
Cpio and tar are also present in the Cygwin toolkit, so if you are using unix tools, install Cygwin.

Problem is: I need to copy artifacts from one directory in workspace to another. some of the artifacts contain symlinks. I use the solution as provided in: https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/commit/e15b2e19e394f5d63183f01a2e72a14115a0c370 i.e. taring the source and untaring at destination. But it sometimes fail at the slaves. Does anyone have a better solution? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
