Subject: [ruby-core:56058] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7106][Open] FileUtils.touch should allow touching the symlink itself rather than the file the link points to


Issue #7106 has been updated by usa (Usaku NAKAMURA).

Status changed from Assigned to Open
Assignee deleted (usa (Usaku NAKAMURA))

Ah, I take charge of Windows versions, but I cannot judge whether we should accept this feature request or not.
fileutils doesn't have the maintainer now, can someone judge it?

Feature #7106: FileUtils.touch should allow touching the symlink itself rather than the file the link points to

Most systems support POSIX lutimes sys call that allows a symlink to be touched. I'd like to see this feature implemented.
Unfortunately I'd like to see this feature on Solaris as soon as possible but I cannot see lutimes syscall supported there.
