Hi all,

Sorry if this seems too basic.

But is there a way to overwrite the target of a symbolic link without
first deleting the symlink itself?

For example, if I have this:

public_html -> releases/b2b-20080228

... and there's a new update, I can then just do the following:

$ ln releases/site-latest public_html

I tried using the -f option but it doesn't seem to work as expected.
