Actually, our version of cp is modified to copy the attributes as well, so it's curious why it would refuse in the case of a symlink specifically. This ticket should stay open until someone gets a chance to look.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
copyattr --data
is the command to use to copy files and their attributes. Is this ticket "wontfix" or "invalid" ?
