I have a directory on a Linux system that mostly contains symlinks to files on a different filesystem. I'd like to add the directory to a Subversion repository, dereferencing the symlinks in the process (treating them as the files they point to, rather than links). Generally, I'd like to be able to handle any working-copy operations wi...

The problem is that the symlink is quite important (it's /bin/sh, namely) and I would to do it in fashion that: New target will be available immediately after removing old, i.e. there will be no possibility that something will notice disappearing of it, There...

Hi all, Is it actually possible to upload symlinks and keep them as symlinks as opposed to uploading the files they're pointing to? I have a directory structure that relies on symlinks and I'm looking for a way to send this to users who have no command line knowledge and would want to upload it to their servers.

Does anyone know of a way to make/read symbolic links across versions of win32 from Python? Ideally there should be a minimum amount of platform specific code, as I need my app to be cross platform. ...
I've installed the latest version of Cygwin on Vista with SVN, Make and GCC in the installation. When I SVN checkout from a repository with some symbolic links in it, the symbolic links are not converted to symbolic links on Cygwin, rather they are just left as regular ascii files with "link ../../blah/blah" inside them. SVN proplist of...
Does any operating system provide a mechanism (system call - not command line program) to change the pathname referenced by a symbolic link (symlink) - other than by unlinking the old one and creating a new one? The POSIX standard does not. Solaris 10 does not. MacOS X 10.5 (Leopard) does not. Is there anything that does? (I'm expec...
I'm tring to commit a symlink into subversion, but I get this error when I try to add the actual symlink: Can't replace 'path/to/symlink' with a node of a differing type; the deletion must be committed and the parent updated before adding 'path/to/symlink' ...

I have a Python script that I run from a symlinked directory, and I call os.getcwd() in it, expecting to get the symlinked path I ran it from. Instead it gives me the "real" path, and in this case that's not helpful. I need it to actually give me the symlinked version. Does Python have a command for that? ...
Hello, Using PHP on Linux, I can just use the is_link() function to detect whether a given file is a symbolic link. However, is there a way to detect if a given file is the target of any other symbolic links? Thanks, Brian ...

If foo_user.cpp depends on foo.h, then foo_user.cpp is built, and then foo.h's modification time is set to further in the past, make will not rebuild foo_user.cpp (because foo.cpp is 'newer'). I'd prefer it if make recorded the modification times of dependencies, and if they changed at all (newer or older), to consider targets of that de...
I copy set of folders from server 1 to server 2. Amongst files I also have junction: folder with set of config files: on server 1 this junction points to... let's say c:\Config (that contains config1.cfg, config2.cfg) On server 2 I also have c:\Config with the same set of files, but of course they contains their own settings that I do n...
