Description Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

when installing sys-process/lsof-4.77 it only copies symlink to the sources instead of the sources themselves... we should either add -L or --copy-unsafe-links to the rsync command in bin/prepstrip

Created attachment 94985 [details, diff]

it seems that -L is necessary.. a patch against the trunk is attached.
