I would definitely like this as well. For my use case, which involves using a bundle Cygwin environment to run a graphical program (and is hence quite large), it would make my installer development/test cycle a lot quicker if I could do parallel compression.

Cygwin's symlinks use something called NTFS Reparse Points as symlinks (https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#pathnames-symlinks, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_reparse_point) It seems that, much like Linux symlinks, applications that aren't aware of symlinks might just end up duplicating files rather than preserving the links. Unfortunately I can't really provide any insight beyond what those links show, apart from saying that NSIS seems to duplicate files. This isn't really my area of...

Using /a /r works, thanks. Not sure how to mark as solved.

Using /a /r works, thanks.

Cygwin .lnk symlinks are broken

NTFS Symlinks are not preserved

Good idea. I know docbook 5.0 works, because that's what I used to write my documentation that I process with DAPS.

Fair enough :) Nope, still not working. A package search doesn't yield any docbook 5.1 - specific things, so I think there probably just isn't a package for the docbook 5.1 stuff. Thanks anyway :)
