I had a project some years ago, where symlinks were used in a repo to reduce space consumption/build complexity wrt. [i18n] documentation. Sources were docbook.xml s, which got xlated into javahelp, html doc and pdf. W/O symlinks much more work and copying src to build area was necessary to make all the xlators happy ... > On 8.6.2011 17:06, Lubos Kosco wrote: > > > >When we are already talking about symlinks ... > >there is still the bug with looping symlinks (which point to the same > >dir), where indexer will just get stuck and loops through them > >so ... beware of such symlinks, they can make your indexing take days ;) LOL.
