and it would be still broken. you can not assume that hardlinks between different directories will _always_ work. the only place where you can say "it wont break anything" are hardlinks in the same directory. anything else can be on a different partition. that said i think the best would be to patch fdupes and let it use hardlinks for any duplicates in the same directory, but symlinks for anything else.
That is right, but what happens acctually when you have different partitions ?
Does rpm fail to install the package or does it create a full copy of the file on the other partition ?
If it is the later, I think hardlinks are okay to use ..
it fails horribly. taking into account the comment from bwalle about different meanings of files in different subdirectories, i think the only valid thing is that fdupes should only hardlink files in the same directory. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
