Pulp doesn't follow soft symlinks

Creating projects like the above will not work since pulp doesn't follow symlinks.

The follow-up question is why you'd want to do this, and we've been doing it for specific packaging needs -- but that might change.

Anyone -- validate or reject please :)

I’m happy to change pulp so that it follows symlinks like the above, sure.

Can you clarify how the above doesn’t work please? Steps taken, expectation, result, that sort of thing

We currently don't use this approach anymore at all actually. But I reckon we did something along the lines of:

$ ln -s proj1/psc-package.json proj2/psc-package.json
$ cd proj2 && pulp build

:)
