After a couple days beating my head against the wall, I finally figured out why the symbolic links I create in my package's preinstall phase aren't working when the package is bundled up as part of a distribution.

It seems when you add a package to a distribution, PM clears the "Follow symbolic links" flag! It seems like PM should use whatever flags are set for the package when it's included in the dist.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share this in case others run into a similar issue.

None of the flags are taken into account. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Installer-dev mailing list (email@hidden) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: This email sent to email@hidden
