Yes.
But also we know that we don't want to require that from people
working with the tarball.
Yes, and that's one of the reasons we use these tarballs for the Bioconductor build system. They are a little bit more convenient than pulling the source from svn.
The question remains why the automated build procedures ... that I have setup and have been running for years, suddenly fail to put the *.tgz symbolic links into src/library/Recommended/ as they used to.
I don't know what OS this procedure is running on but maybe 'tar' started to do some strange strings with symlinks after an OS update/upgrade... Thanks, H.
