managing symlinks

[Dan Trainor <info hostinthebox net>]

Hello, all -

I was curious as to how I am supposed to create symlinks that are for
this package, upon installation.

When I list the links in %files and they go through the install routine,
what I end up with is copies of the files that should have been
symlink'd - not the symlinks themselves.  I am creating symlinks
manually from within %post.  This is the only solution which I've found.

Are there any special precautions which I need to take when creating
symlinks, and creating them properly, so that they are removed when I
uninstall an RPM?

Thanks!
