Subject: Cygwin 7z breaks symlinks
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2020 11:52:07 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAAXzdLVBXuY1=1rxu-Ga-PrikideueKx=CJ97o-FdophHb5w=A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
If you try to use p7zip to create an archive with symlink:
7z a -snl c.tar a.txt b.txt
The symlink is broken:
$ 7z l -slt c.tar
[...]
Path = b.txt
Folder = -
Size = 5
Packed Size = 512
Modified = 2020-03-15 10:34:04
Mode = -rwxrwxrwx
User =
Group =
Symbolic Link =
Hard Link =
but if you use this version:
<https://7-zip.org/a/7z1514-x64.exe>
Then it works as expected:
$ 7z l -slt c.tar
[...]
Path = b.txt
Folder = -
Size = 5
Packed Size = 0
Modified = 2020-03-15 10:48:07
Mode = lrwxrwxrwx
User =
Group =
Symbolic Link = a.txt
Hard Link =
Note that I purposefully used an old version from the offical site, to match
the current Cygwin version.
