- ln uses new symlink command so it can create symlinks that point to files that don't actually exist (eridius r24444).
How is this done? It would come in extremely handy.

It looks to me from the changeset [1] that you just use "ln -s <source> <target>" in a Portfile (i.e. _without_ wrapping it as an argument to a "system" command, as this has effectively already been done). If eridius knows otherwise, he'll probably pop up and say so.

Thank you Maun Suang. I realized after asking that this is the default behavior. Best wishes, Dave
