[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 373 bytes --]

Hi,

I am using Org-mode to run my website, and I have symbolic links to
files elsewhere in my home directory (which are dereferenced when
published).  When I org-publish the project, it doesn't re-publish the
symbolic links even if the target has changed.

Any idea what I could do to avoid manually copying the files that
org-publish should be publishing?

Thanks,
Aidan

  Org checks the file modification time to determine whether to
  republish a file or not.  Due to the nature of /sym/links their
  modification date does not change if the directory entry they are
  pointing to changes.
  
  Maybe you could use hard links instead of symlinks if the files you
  are linking exist on the same hard disk partition.  If this is not the
  case maybe using a command line tool that syncs the directories
  (e.g. rsync) could be an option (Cf. Manual, 13.1.2 Sources and
  destinations for files).

    Then shouldn't Org-mode check the modification time of the *target*?

    That's what I'll have to do.  This seems to be more of a workaround
    than a solution, though.

      Indeed.  Just pushed a patch to master.
