In the attached example, the lnk.sh (in mypkg/custom/rootfs) points to
/usr/share/dsp/toto.sh
Since /usr/share/dsp/toto.sh does not exists, lnk.sh is ignored during
the release. See released package
mypkg/custom/rootfs/mypkg_custom_src.tar.gz
Is this a known issue of a bug?

I use xdctools_3_22_04_46

Patrick,
somewhere deep in the bowels of RTSC we call stat() on each file. When we reach a soft link to a non-existent file, stat() returns an error status, which we ignore. It does look like a bug because we should be able to recover from it. I'll run some tests to see what happens in various scenarios, and then we'll figure out how urgent the bug is and how risky the fix is. Is it something that you can work around or it's a big problem for you?

Sasha,

We have a workaround we can live with for now.
I would like a bug report being filed if it turns out to be a bug.

Patrick
