--- Comment #4 from cyp...@cyphar.com --- (In reply to Wayne Davison from comment #3) > Yes, if you tell rsync to copy the symlinks it does it. If you have one or > more looping symlinks then you need to exclude them from the copy or not use > --copy-links. That's just patently ridiculous. cp -r doesn't fail when you ask it to copy a directory that has symlink loops because "that's what you asked me to do". It literally just takes doing some fairly trivial checks before adding extra files to file_list (i.e. does the path we're adding resolve to an ancestor of a path we've already seen?). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
