This may have changed with the 4.4 sources, but I sure don't remeber seeing the code in mtree to do it. Infact mtree has problems right now when things in the *.dist files are not directories but instead symlinks pointing to directories. Did you nuke the symlinks and run mtree to see that it did what you though it would do? > The situation is coming when several Makefiles > needs the same symlinks, it was the reason why I move them > into one place: mtree. > It is directory simlinks, not file simlynks. Perhaps then these symlinks should be put in the hierarchy: target of /usr/src/release/Makefile. > Directory itself created by mtree earlier. > -- > Andrew A.
