From 3e6d91ece0556fa1c9c84bef60678d8148b789f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Hatle Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2011 21:49:36 -0600 Subject: package.bbclass: Preserve hard links! Hard links were not being preserved in the move from the install image -> package copy. Again they were being discarded in the package -> packages-split copy as well. By preserving the hard links we have the potential to save a ton of rootfs space.
