Description Dan Horák 2012-06-20 10:42:12 UTC
Sometimes we need to run hardlink on /mnt/koji directory to save space by hardlinking files from the daily created repositories to the files under /mnt/koji/packages where all build rpms reside. This should be as simple as "hardlink /mnt/koji", but when /mnt/koji resides on a NetApp backed NFS storage  then there is also .snapshot directory containing internal NetApp backups of teh content and the command needs to be modified to "hardlink /mnt/koji/*". Other option would be to add an "exclude directory" feature to hardlink and "hardlink -x .snapshot /mnt/koji" would be equivalent to the previous command. I suppose there will be other scenarios where the exclude feature would be useful.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 2 Jan Zeleny 2013-04-08 11:57:25 UTC
Please try following scratch build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5225641

the option is -x, you can specify it multiple times. If you like the behavior, I will do this a regular build.

Since the scratch build has expired, I'm attaching a patch with the requested functionality.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-03 23:23:37 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-08-01 02:02:56 UTC
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 6 Marko Myllynen 2013-08-05 16:13:13 UTC
Jan, given that you already wrote a patch for this I think this might be worth fixing - care to spin a new test build, if Dan is unable to test I can test on his behalf?

Thanks.

Comment 7 Dan Horák 2013-08-05 16:19:59 UTC
Marko, please do the testing, thanks in advance.
