cvs y symlinks

[Fernando <fernandojose.sainz@avanzit.com>]

Hola:

Estaba pensando en meter en un cvs mi /etc, y probando he visto
que con la configuración por defecto no se incluyen los enlaces
simbólicos. (/etc/alternatives/..., etc....)

He visto que hay en la documentación alguna referencia a este 
problema, pero no me queda claro si ahora mismo en Potato esta
soportado.


    17. Why did "import" ignore all the symlinks? 
    
   This is another design choice.
   
   Like the Unix "tar" command, "import" could sprout an option to
follow
   symbolic links, but I don't think CVS will ever follow symbolic links
   by default.
   
   Two possible future enhancements have been seriously discussed:
   
     Treat symbolic links as data in its parent directory (the way
   ClearCase does) in some sort of per-directory control file.
   
     Treat symbolic links as version-controlled elements themselves,
   whose data is the value of readlink(2).
   
   For now, they are simply ignored.
   
   If you want to save and reconstruct symlinks, you might want to
define
   a "checkout" or "update" program in the modules file which could
   consult a file kept under CVS in your working directory and make sure
   the specified links are in place.

-------


        * Symbolic links in the source repository are fully supported
ONLY
        if you use RCS 5.6 or later and (of course) your system supports
        symlinks.

-------

* There is an optional set of features, enabled by PreservePermissions
in CVSROOT/config, which allow CVS to store unix-specific file
information such as permissions, file ownership, and links.  See the
Cederqvist for details.

Alguien con experiencia puede darme un poco de luz al respecto.

Saludos.
