There is no difference. A normal file entry in a directory is still a hardlink, what we generally call hardlinks are just additional copies, it's all the same file. > Thus, there's a possibility that I forgot > and accidentally change the one in /opt, which then get pushed to > bitbucket. It doesn't matter where you change it when there's only one file. It means you can put the file where openrc seems to want it and keep it in your separate directory as you want. However, if symlinks have stopped working, there was either a conscious design decision or you've found a new bug. --=20 Neil Bothwick Despite the cost of living it remains popular. --Sig_/VC+WDyipURgQ+BukRAaC8a3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk89BtcACgkQum4al0N1GQN2EQCfXqk4G1ukeqDwL++f6dRpn1Ev px4An2YF1svQNc8GLs2rOK8PsfW43IbU =0rJi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/VC+WDyipURgQ+BukRAaC8a3--
