The ability to backup symbolic links and empty directories was never part of apkg. Therefore, one would have to create them on the fly during bootup. That's how I used to do it.
The other improvements are: a) expandpath always ended up being /// when you passed it /, and would give you double slashes in other situations. Also it did not handle "" as a valid path, which should be--and now is treated as ".". c) upgrade() now handles symlinks and empty dirs and very importantly, now commits only on confirmation at the very end. Before, because of the interactive nature of upgrade it was possible to end up with a partially upgraded package because of a lost ssh session, or if you messed up while merging there was no ability to back out. d) rundiff() now reflects symlink and empty dir changes. -jorge ----- Original Message ----- From: Erich Titl <erich.t...@think.ch> To: leaf-devel <leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Cc: Sent: Friday, October 31, 2014 3:40 PM Subject: [leaf-devel] Fwd: [leaf:bering-uclibc] [2bdcfd] - Jorge Contreras: Backup symlinks, empty dirs and other improvements Just to understand, what is this needed for and what are 'other improvements' ?
