Hey, Thanks a million Luis! :-) It would be amazing to get File#lutime added now so *nix / POSIX compliant environment will benefit from it, and then we can look (under a separate ticket) how to add File#symlink? for Windows platform (lack of it is lingering for quite some time now). Again, thanks for help to everyone who helped :-) KW ---------------------------------------- Feature #7106: FileUtils.touch should allow touching the symlink itself rather than the file the link points to https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7106#change-33123 Author: cirrusthinking (Alessandro Diaferia) Status: Feedback Priority: Normal Assignee: luislavena (Luis Lavena) Category: core Target version: 2.0.0 Most systems support POSIX lutimes sys call that allows a symlink to be touched. I'd like to see this feature implemented. Unfortunately I'd like to see this feature on Solaris as soon as possible but I cannot see lutimes syscall supported there. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
