Context dependent symlinks require the support of either the kernel, or the filesystem kernel module. On Linux, as far as I know, only OCFS offers that support.

I create the tar file from / like so:

And this creates the tar with the links intact. The problem is that this tar is going to be used for testing, so we want the links to point to the files in the tar. But when I extract the tar into /tmp, I get /tmp/usr/us/... as I... (2 Replies)

dist::zilla::plugin::git::gatherdir
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::GatherDir(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::GatherDir(3pm)
NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::GatherDir - gather all tracked files in a Git working directory
VERSION
version 1.121820
DESCRIPTION
This is a trivial variant of the GatherDir plugin. It looks in the directory named in the "root" attribute and adds all the Git tracked
files it finds there (as determined by "git ls-files"). If the root begins with a tilde, the tilde is replaced with the current user's
home directory according to File::HomeDir.
Most users just need:
[Git::GatherDir]
...and this will pick up all tracked files from the current directory into the dist. You can use it multiple times, as you can any other
plugin, by providing a plugin name. For example, if you want to include external specification files into a subdir of your dist, you might
write:
[Git::GatherDir]
; this plugin needs no config and gathers most of your files
[Git::GatherDir / SpecFiles]
; this plugin gets all tracked files in the root dir and adds them under ./spec
root = ~/projects/my-project/spec
prefix = spec
ATTRIBUTES
root
This is the directory in which to look for files. If not given, it defaults to the dist root -- generally, the place where your dist.ini
or other configuration file is located.
prefix
This parameter can be set to gather all the files found under a common directory. See the description above for an example.
include_dotfiles
By default, files will not be included if they begin with a dot. This goes both for files and for directories relative to the "root".
In almost all cases, the default value (false) is correct.
follow_symlinks
By default, directories that are symlinks will not be followed. Note on the other hand that in all followed directories, files which are
symlinks are always gathered.
exclude_filename
To exclude certain files from being gathered, use the "exclude_filename" option. This may be used multiple times to specify multiple files
to exclude.
exclude_match
This is just like "exclude_filename" but provides a regular expression pattern. Files matching the pattern are not gathered. This may be
used multiple times to specify multiple patterns to exclude.
