https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196432 --- Comment #7 from Mathieu Arnold <mat@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Antoine Brodin from comment #5) > I understand replacing -f with -e, and replacing cmp -s with cmp -h -s, > but I don't understand the rest of the patch cp -R is a hack it uses the fact that when doing a cp -R, symlinks are copied instead of dereferenced. chmod -h is so that the chmod is applied to the the link and not the target. I still don't like it, I find it way better to install the target of the symlink so that it can be modified than copying the symlink which, if modified, will be overwritten on next upgrade. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
