Description:
When using 9.38 the symlinks are _NOT_ followed. This worked perfectly well in 9.20 - there was a "-l" switch to follow the symlinks. Now the "-l" switch is not mentioned in "7za --help", so I'm not entirely sure whether it's a bug or a "feature"... I also reported this on p7zip project - https://sourceforge.net/p/p7zip/bugs/149/ Additional info: * version 9.38 fails, 9.20 works fine Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a symlink to some folder with files - "ln -s ... test-link" 2. Try to compress it - "7za a -l archive.7z test-link" 3. Instead of list of compressed files, all you get is this: --- $ 7za a -l archive.7z test-link 7-Zip (a) [64] 9.38 beta Copyright (c) 1999-2014 Igor Pavlov 2015-01-03 p7zip Version 9.38.1 (locale=en_US.UTF-8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,2 CPUs,ASM) Scanning Creating archive archive.7z Compressing test-link Everything is Ok --- |
