link_type => "none" in copy_from did the trick. On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 5:40 PM, Michael Potter wrote: > When I do "cp /usr/lib/libz.so.1 ." I get a file "libz.so.1" in my current > directory, which is not a symbolic link, but a copy of the file the link was > pointing to, say "/usr/lib/libz.so.1

copy_from symbolic links

2010-11-01 Thread Michael Potter
When I do "cp /usr/lib/libz.so.1 ." I get a file "libz.so.1" in my current directory, which is not a symbolic link, but a copy of the file the link was pointing to, say "/usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.3.3". Is there a way I can do a similar copy using copy_from? That is to say, I dont want to copy the link,
