Re: [libvirt PATCH] scripts: Fix meson-install-symlink.py overwriting existing links

By default, symlink re-creation fails if the link already exists, more specifically in case of meson-install-symlink.py: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/<path_to_libvirt_repo>/scripts/meson-install-symlink.py", line 15, in <module> os.symlink(target, link) FileExistsError: File exists: '../default.xml' -> 'default.xml' Unfortunately, Python can't mimic "ln -sf", so we have to fix this differently - create a temporary name which is then going to be used for the temporary link followed by a rename with the original link's name. Note that this solution is racy as mktemp() doesn't guarantee atomicity in link creation, so theoretically another process could come and create a file with the same name as the temporary link name, but a proper solution would be longer and not as elegant.
