From: akr@... Date: 2017-11-29T08:59:46+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:83964] [Ruby trunk Feature#4189] FileUtils#ln_r Issue #4189 has been updated by akr (Akira Tanaka). After discussion at the developer meeting, cp_lr may be an consensus. ---------------------------------------- Feature #4189: FileUtils#ln_r https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4189#change-68033 * Author: trans (Thomas Sawyer) * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) * Target version: next minor ---------------------------------------- =begin I wrote a method for FileUtils to do recursive hard linking. It works just like cp_r but links instead of copies. The code can be found along with the pull request I made to ruby/ruby on Github: http://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/4#issuecomment-631067 It's a pretty handy method for "staging" read-only files. For example I've used it to stage test fixture files in a tmp testing location and I've used it collect together a set of files for packaging into a tarball. =end ---Files-------------------------------- fileutils_ln_r.patch (4.72 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
