            Bug ID: 5262
           Summary: docker rpm build replace "packages" symlink with a new
                    directory
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 3.8
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: infrastructure
          Assignee: bugzilla at selenic.com

The rpm nightly building uses symlink to have "packages" point to "nightly" or
"release" repositories. These to other directory sit next to the "mercurial"
repository as "pkg-nightly" and "pkg-release".

However, with the 3.8 branches, the docker run, replace the symlink with a new
directory defeating the redirection. This was working fine with 3.7.x. A quick
glance at the change left me spot what broke it, so I'm creating this bug as
other people might have a good idea of what is going on.
