User wants to copy symlinks alongwith their targets using --additionalBuildFiles

Currently symlinks are not copied when using --additionalBuildFiles option. User would like to copy the symlinks as well.

@lake-of-dreams The current code follows symlinks and copies the final target of the link to the Docker context directory. Is this change requesting that the file not be copied but only the symlink?

@ddsharpe sorry my bad, I checked the documentation again and it does seem that symlinks should be copied, but since as mentioned in https://github.com/oracle/weblogic-image-tool/pull/388 , the actual file path was not printed, it seemed to me that it is showing the message on symlinks. Is it possible we can do a release so that I can ask the customer to try new imagetool with fix that will print exact file that is not being copied?

Release 1.11.5

Thanks Derek, I will update this issue with findings from customer once they have tried the new imagetool.

@lake-of-dreams Any updates from the customer?
