$ cp --version cp (GNU coreutils) 8.5 $ touch file $ ln -s file link_to_file $ mkdir directory $ ln -s directory link_to_directory $ cp -a link_to_file link_to_directory $ ls -l directory lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 4 2011-08-09 17:46 link_to_file -> file So at least cp from GNU coreutils seems to copy the link into the directory, dereferencing the dst link. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12715> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
