symbolic links for library folders #744

Open amanzanom opened 11 months ago

Hi,

I generally use a symbolic link for a taxonomy folder that I share across built databases. I keep several given the different eukaryotic organisms I work with, and not worth having them all together in a database. I tried building a new one using also symbolic links to the library folders of a standard build (e.g. bacteria, archaea, ...). However, when I try building the database, it is only able to detect the added folder and files in it. My guess is that it is unable to follow symbolic links for the library folders in contrast to the taxonomy one. Has anyone found a workaround this?

Running kraken2-2.1.3 on GNU/linux x86_64 cluster

Thanks
