| Doc Text: |
* Previous versions of the sos package did not correctly handle the targets of symbolic links when copying files and directories into the report
* Under some circumstances "dangling" symbolic links could appear in the report directory structure
* The library routines dealing with file copying have been fixed to always copy symbolic link targets when a requested path contains a symbolic link
* The sosreport command now properly handles symbolic link targets and will always collect the target of links when available
