Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Mirrors and links

Hi Thomas,

a few weeks ago I thought about a similar thing; in principle it should work, 
at least the symbolic link will be mirrored by the rsync script to all of the 
mirror.

But the problem is the webserver (or ftp server) configuration. Our mirror 
would allow such a symbolic link, but you never can be sure that other 
mirrors have such a user-friendly (insecure?) configuration.
