Thanks! The CI failures are unrelated to this PR and will be fixed with #323.

May I ask — did you actually encounter a problem that required cp -rfL to fix? 🤔

When i work with custom messages, i don't wanted to copy them manually every time after a change from my workspace to the extra packages folder.

I'm sorry, but I didn't understand what you meant. Could you please explain in more detail?

@Amronos, do you have any thoughts on this?

From what I understand, -L properly copies the directories that the symlinks point to.
It is needed as some people may symlink their own packages into the extra_packages directory to iterate faster on those packages.

Oh, I forgot that symbolic links can point to entire directories. Thanks for the clarification!
