 |
|
| I'd like to move my packages from /usr/portage/packages to another directory. But I don't see an easy way to move all the softlinks from /usr/portage/packages/All to the other subdirectories from that location to the new location except one at a time. Any suggestions, please? Thanks. |

Found a solution: | Code: | cd /usr/portage/packages
find . > /tmp/names.list
cpio -p -l --make-directories /my/new/dir < /tmp/names.list |
cpio appears to preserve symlinks. I could not get tar to do the same. |
