CVS can't AFAIK handle symlinks directly. You can: 1) add code to debian/rules to create them when appropriate 2) investigate the cvs PreservePermissions option (though it has drawbacks) 3) look into cvswrappers For more info try $ info cvs C-s symbolic link -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP=E80E0D04F521A094 532B97F5D64E3930
