Links should only be applied during build processes to allow building and testing to complete successfully. Build link types may not be compatible with tar or the target file system and should not be included in packages for distribution e.g. they may only work on systems configured for WSL and with WSL installed. Distributed package links should be generated during post-install processing and should fall back to file copies if links are unsupported on the target file system. -- Take care.
