Hi All,
Two programs that will over write your links with
the actual file:
softmaker-freeoffice-2018-2018-982.x86_64
Anything running under wine
By links do you mean URLs, hard links, symlinks, something else? By
"over write" do you mean replace? What is the context of this?
poc
"ln -s xxx yyy"
I just tested Wine Staging and they fixed it. Yipee!!
wine-staging64-6.1-1.1.x86_64
And I just got word back that Softmaker 2021 (the paid
version) also overwrites links.
Win one, lose one.
Neither of the packages you cite are Fedora supplied packages.
I also seems as if, since you have a very generic ln example, that these
foreign packagers overwrite *all*
symbolic links no matter where they exist.
Besides, your ln example without any context gives this as the result
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ ln -s xxx yyy
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ file yyy
yyy: broken symbolic link to xxx
1) who ONLY uses packages from the Fedora repo?
2) man ln
-s, --symbolic
make symbolic links instead of hard links
$ touch xxx
$ ln -s xxx yyy
$ ls -al yyy
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 todd users 3 Feb 8 12:20 yyy -> xxx
3) Wine use to overwrite but is now fixed. When I
originally reported it, they told me there was nothing
they could do about it.
Softmaker 2021 and 2018 are now the only two I am
having issues with.
I use both SoftMaker Free and LibreOffice do to all the
endless, mind numbing, bugs and awkwardness in/of
LibreOffice. SoftMaker seems to have some bugs too.
And they do not support saving back to ods or opening
encrypted odt. I have not test envelopes in SoftMaker
yet (LO falls on its a-- with envelopes). And I will
go back and forth from SoftMaker and LO when I need
to change page orentation back from Landscape to Portrait.
LO won't fix user reported bugs unless you pay them,
which is the open source model and beyond the capability
of most except the most well funded companies.
M$ Office is "rumored" to run in Wine, but that
will be a cold day ...
Word Pro does run in wine pretty nicely and is
more powerful than LO. Does wonderful envelopes
too and has division tabs. Plus it is intuitive.
