#9959: removeDirectoryRecursive should not follow symlinks -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: | Version: 7.11 libraries/directory | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Architecture: | Blocked By: Unknown/Multiple | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- It's just, like, a really bad idea. And almost never what you want. (Also, it differs from the behavior of `rm -rf`). Can we just change the behavior? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9959 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
