Bug#626329: Please follow symlinks for manifest-tweaking tools !

[Vincent Fourmond]

Package: javahelper
Version: 0.34
Severity: important

  Hello again !

  Hmmm... Just had a look at the statsvn package I've uploaded:

-rw-r--r-- root/root    100922 2011-05-11 00:49 ./usr/share/java/statsvn.jar
-rw-r--r-- root/root    100891 2011-05-11 00:49 ./usr/share/java/statsvn-0.7.0.jar

  Shouldn't statsvn.jar be linked to the versioned jar ? The problem
comes from the fact that the manifest-tweaking tools do not follow
symlinks. So, for now:

  * using usr/share/java/statsvn.jar leads to two different files
    instead of a symlink
  * using usr/share/java/statsvn-0.7.0.jar works but requires changing
    the files for every sourceful upload...

  Cheers,

	Vincent

PS: and, again, I can tackle that if you wish
