Subject: [ruby-core:49609] [ruby-trunk - Feature #7106] FileUtils.touch should allow touching the symlink itself rather than the file the link points to


Issue #7106 has been updated by luislavena (Luis Lavena).

Are you OK with making File#lutime return a NotImplementedError for now and we can work on next version making File#symlink? and associated work on Windows?

Thank you.

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.
