tup Copy file from source directory to build-variant directory.

Hi, I want to copy file from source directory to variant specific directory. I tried 'cp %f %o' and 'touch %f' but tup complains that I will overwrite source file, and aborts. How to fix that?

I have the same question.

I have a pull request which (sort of) resolves this.

I would like to do that either, I am currently converting https://github.com/pickfire/www/blob/master/Makefile#L32-L33 into a Tupfile but I find it hard for a Tupfile that doesn't involve compiling.

I also am having this issue. However, when I revert back to an older version of TUP (the version from the ubuntu binaries) this issue disappears.

Does tup_preserve solve this issue? http://gittup.org/tup/manual.html
