Bzr Error Unable To Create Symlink
this platform It seems that bazaar try to create a symbolic link. I'm working under Windows XP. Is it a bug from Bazaar? Question information Language: English Edit question Status: Answered For: Bazaar Edit question Assignee: No assignee Edit question Last query: 2009-01-05 Last reply: 2010-01-12 Related bugs Bug #81689: Branches with symlinks can't be checked out on Windows Link existing bug Remove bug link Related FAQ: None Link to a FAQ ChrisD (xuard) said on 2009-01-06: #1 I have the same problem. THirsch (thirsch) said on 2010-01-11: #2 I have the same problem and would love to see an 'integrated' solution. - at least for Vista/Win7, as there is the possibility of real symlinks - see http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html for an util allready making use of it). - Bazaar Symlinks for Win32 Plugin seems to be outdated/unmaintained and 'buggy' - in the plugin doc text i found "The recommended solution for symlinks on Windows is to run bzr under Cygwin" offering a solution to this. But this will add complexity to the windows install... =;-( (Thus hindering me to force all of my coworkers to use it right away.... - we want to control some asterisk configs/installations from our windows workstations, but currently can't, because of this restriction). is there an option '--ignore-symlinks' or elst that I am unaware of to get get a checkout/branch without the symlinks? Regards Thomas I found Martin Pool (mbp) said on 2010-01-12: #3 Hi, this is an open bug 81689. At the moment using cygwin is the best workaround I know of. If you can in that bug point to the MSDN documentation to make symlinks or even better some python code to do it, that would help. Can you help with this problem? Provide an answer of your own, or ask ruddy32 for more information if necessary. History Link existing bug Link to a FAQ Create a new FAQ To post a message you must log in. Ask a question

It was aborted with the message: bzr ERROR: Unable to create symlink 'doc/book/devhelp.xsl' on this platform :( Best regards, Dirk Imported from Launchpad using lp2gh. date created: 2010-07-28T15:06:45Z owner: dl9obn the launchpad url was https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/610904 igraph development team member gaborcsardi commented May 4, 2013 (by https://github.com/igraph/igraph/issues/278 ntamas) Unfortunately Bazaar cannot create symlinks on Windows, see the following bug (and vote on it if you feel it's important to have it fixed ASAP): https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/81689 We ill take a look at the Bazaar repo and check if there would be an easy way to remove those symlinks from the repo. In the meanwhile, if you need the source code of igraph, you can always get the latest and greatest nightly snapshot from http://code.google.com/p/igraph (note that you have to download the C core and the higher level interfaces to R and Python separately). igraph development team member gaborcsardi commented Feb 7, 2014 There is only one symlink now: ./www/r/doc/index.html and this will go away, when I'll split the website into another repo. igraph development team member gaborcsardi commented Feb 7, 2014 Actually that index.html is a generated file, so we have no symlinks any more. gaborcsardi closed this Feb 7, 2014 Sign up for free to join this conversation on GitHub.
