My MSYS is older... What I can tell about it is that 'ln -s' "works" by
*copying* the file to target location. Or should I say "pretends
working". Your tar might do the same, i.e. defer symlink "resolution"
till the end of tar-file and copy the files. Can you confirm this? It
should be noted that Vista and onward implements symbolic links, and
it's not impossible to imagine that new enough MSYS would take advantage
of it:-)
also did just some tests on Linux, and it seems that -h does only work
for archiving, but not extracting:
tar xfz openssl-1.0.0b.tar.gz
tar cf openssl-1.0.0b.tar openssl-1.0.0b/
tar chf openssl-1.0.0b-h.tar openssl-1.0.0b/
ll *.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21575680 Nov 20 03:15 openssl-1.0.0b-h.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19793920 Nov 20 03:15 openssl-1.0.0b.tar
Right, this was exactly suggestion in #2273. I.e. re-pack resolving
symbolic links.
Either way, shall we settle for
http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=20071. Cheers. A.
yes, that's ok - lets close this bug then.
