Hello, I have a question concerning the handling of symlinks with the synchronize module:
What exactly is the difference between the "link" and "copy_link" options, and how are they intended to be used? The docs say --- copy_links: Copy symlinks as the item that they point to (the referent) is copied, rather than the symlink. links: Copy symlinks as symlinks. --- This looks rather redundant to me (plus I do not really understand what the "is copied" part for copy_links should mean). I have a symlink on the source side that I want to see copied as file. Setting "links" to "no" does not yield the desired behaviour. I get a symlink on the destination side. Setting "copy_links" to "yes" does the trick (but I'd rather expect it to do the opposite, i.e., COPY the LINK ?!). This is probably all working as designed, but I can't say I understand... cu Gerrit -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Development" group.
