But it does (so long as your disk is NTFS). Is there any known limitation with using symlinks on windows? #aaron From forum at sprucehead.com Thu Jun 24 22:03:15 2010 From: forum at sprucehead.com (Jack Holloway) Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2010 22:03:15 -0000 Subject: [asdf-install-devel] install-package confused by bsdtar on Mac OS X Message-ID: <4C23CE79.1070903@sprucehead.com> The incompatibility with the version of tar on Mac OS has been noted before.
