How to copy a zip with symbolic link in OS X?
I did the following to check/solve this (but I don't really know if I understand the question/the problem correctly):




Create a file.bundle with

touch /Users/user/temp/step1/file.bundle

Create a symlink in another folder

ln -s /Users/user/temp/step1/file.bundle /Users/user/temp/step2/  


the (re-transcribed) hex content of the symlink is:

/Users/user/temp/step1/file.bundle 

Zip the symlink

zip -y /Users/user/temp/step3file.bundle.zip /Users/user/temp/step2/file.bundle`

Create a folder (step4), cd into it and unzip step3file.bundle.zip 

mkdir /Users/user/temp/step4
cd /Users/user/temp/step4
unzip /Users/user/temp/step3file.bundle.zip  


the (re-transcribed) hex content of the unzipped symlink in /Users/user/temp/step4/Users/user/temp/step2 is still:

/Users/user/temp/step1/file.bundle 

Copy file.bundle in folder step1 using the symlink in a subfolder of folder step4 into folder step5

cd /Users/user/temp/step4/Users/user/temp/step2
cp file.bundle /Users/user/temp/step5



The above steps work. You probably zipped the folder containing the symlink and/or got some paths/commands (and maybe some options) wrong.
