homesick symlinks use absoulte paths

[mnagel]

Hi there,

I like homesick!

However, I noticed that it uses absolute paths in the symlinks it creates. Is there a reason for this? I noticed this when I mounted the home directory in a rescue system under another path and all symlinks where broken. I think relative symlinks would work fine in this situation and see no other disadvantages. So my question is: why does homesick use absolute paths and could/should it be changed to relative paths?

Best Regards
MIchael

Hey Michael! There really isn't a reason to use absolute paths, and moving to relative paths is a great idea. If it's something that you'd like to do you can submit a pull request, or I'll fix it within the next week or two. Cheers!

I'm new to the project, but this sounds like a fairly straightforward addition--is anyone working on this currently?

I don't believe anyone started work on this. If you'd like to fix it, submit a pull request and I'll look at it. Otherwise, if people still want this fixed, I might be able to do so in the next few days myself.

Sure, I'd like to do it.
