Error when releasing a package with bloom

[UltronDestroyer]

I'm running through a bloom with this command:

bloom-release --rosdistro hydro --track hydro web_interface --edit

and it gets stuck here, outputting this and failing the bloom process:

==> git-bloom-generate -y rosrelease hydro --source upstream -i 0

To reproduce I need what you entered for the track settings.

[UltronDestroyer]

Will do:

Upstream gbp: https://github.com/pr2-gbp/web_interface-release.git
Upstream source: https://github.com/pr2/web_interface.git
Branch: indigo-devel

Everything else was default.

[wjwwood]

It looks like your upstream has a bunch of symlinks and it is failing to copy those. I'll have to look into a different way to copy them so that the symlinks are preserved. I'm not sure when I'll have time to do so.

[UltronDestroyer]

I see what you mean. I'll check out the code of git-bloom-generate and see if there is anything I can do to help.

[wjwwood]

Ok, in case you have time, here are some leads to follow. The copy operation happens in two places:

• https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/bloom/blob/master/bloom/commands/git/patch/trim_cmd.py#L96
• https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/bloom/blob/master/bloom/commands/git/patch/trim_cmd.py#L113

My best guess as to what needs to be done (without first researching the error in shutil.copytree) is that you need to look over the files, find any symlinks, move them with the symlink functions in Python's os module, and add them to an exclude list before calling shutil.copytree.
