* Latest kernel sources included symbolic links that were broken and caused the tar command to fail. * In certain circumstances broken symbolic links are valid and should be packaged up. * However, any patch located in the "patches" directory should be dereference * since the original file is located in the recipe's WORKDIR. * Therefore, the sym link will be broken when accessed on a different computer. * By using the dereference option with the cp command the patches directory can be dereferenced.
