    Description

      Improvement

      Currently, if a symbolic link is included in an artifact, the file that the link points to will be added rather than the link itself.  If the symbolic link points to nothing the file wont be added at all.

      Some artifacts will be deployed where the preservation of a link would be a valid choice. 

      An improvement for Bamboo could be to implement the option of preserving of symbolic links, similar to tars -H or -L.

       

      Workaround

      Use an underlying tool such as tar to bundle the files and preserve the link structure.
