Name

eapi8-dosym.eclass -- Testing implementation of EAPI 8 dosym -r option

Description

A stand-alone implementation of the dosym command aimed for EAPI 8. Intended to be used for wider testing of the proposed option and to allow ebuilds to switch to the new model early, with minimal change needed for actual EAPI 8.

Functions

dosym8 [-r] <target> <link>

Create a symbolic link <link>, pointing to <target>. If the directory containing the new link does not exist, create it.

If called with option -r, expand <target> relative to the apparent path of the directory containing <link>. For example, dosym8 -r /bin/foo /usr/bin/foo will create a link named ../../bin/foo.
