[omd-devel] Create site in sylinked path fails - suggested fix

[Oliver O'Boyle]

Hello,

I recently tried to create an OMD site in a previously symlinked path. The procedure failed due to broken symlinks. The broken symlinks occur because the relative path of '../../versions/<OMD_VERSION>' is used during the creation process. The create_version_symlink function in /usr/bin/omd can be changed to use the /omd/versions path instead, as such:

ORIGINAL:
def create_version_symlink(sitename, version):
    linkname = site_dir(sitename) + "/version"
    if os.path.exists(linkname):
        os.remove(linkname)
    os.symlink("../../versions/%s" % OMD_VERSION, linkname)

LINE 415 CHANGED TO:

def create_version_symlink(sitename, version):
    linkname = site_dir(sitename) + "/version"
    if os.path.exists(linkname):
        os.remove(linkname)
    os.symlink("/omd/versions/%s" % OMD_VERSION, linkname)   <--line 415

I've made this change and tested the creation of new sites. It seems to work flawlessly.

Is it possible to make this change (or something similar that allows for sites to be created in a symlinked path) to the distribution?

Regards,
Oliver
