http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19252 <untar> does not untar symbolic links properly [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity|Normal |Enhancement Version|1.5.1 |1.5.3 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-04-24 06:08 ------- I guess you are aware of the fact that Java doesn't know about symlinks at all. It may be possible to check whether ln is available as a command and execute it if a symbolic link inside the archive is encountered, that's why I didn't close this report as WONTFIX right away. If you want to take a stab at it, look into the new <symlink> task in Ant's CVS repository to get an idea of what is involved here.
