Re: Symbolic links in packaging
When ever you make a copy, the source attributes (other than accesstime) is not modified. If you are looking for
1) a version/option that should break the symbolic link of the source and if the source is a symbolic link, then you need to write script to do it.
2) by default when a copy is made from a symbolic link (source), target will not be a symbolic link. It will be a regular file. I think this what you are looing at.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
...Madhu

SolutionFor 'fbackup' you can use the 's-' option which will backup the object that a symbolic link refers to rather than backup the symbolic link (the default behavior).
For 'tar' and 'cpio' the '-h' option controls how symbolic links are treated.
