Revised patch to overwrite symlink targets none

Description Elliott Baron 2009-04-21 20:24:23 UTC
Created attachment 340628 [details]
Revised patch to overwrite symlink targets

Description of problem:
The prepare-build-dir.sh script called by PDE Build will improperly create symbolic links under the target directory instead of overwriting the target directory.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.4.2-2.fc11

How reproducible:
Run PDE Build without cleaning up the directory structure containing checked out plugins. Running PDE Build again will create the above problem.

Comment 1 Andrew Overholt 2009-04-21 20:39:52 UTC
Thanks for the patch, Elliott.

Due to potential issues with 3.4.2 and updates (p2 dropins issue), I'd like to get this in before F-11 GA if possible.  Alex, what do you think?

Comment 2 Alexander Kurtakov 2009-04-22 07:39:06 UTC
Do you think it classifies for a https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/FinalFreezePolicy break? It doesn't have such big impact so I would vote for just committing it in F-11 so it get in the next update build with some other changes. 

Btw, I'm applying it for F-12.

Comment 3 Andrew Overholt 2009-04-22 12:56:21 UTC
I agree it can wait for an F-11 update.  I've committed it in the F-11 directory and it will get picked up in the next build.
