Re: Proposal: removeDirectoryRecursive should not follow symlinks

Wow, I did not realize this was the behavior. I would consider it a major bug. +1 to removing, -1 to any deprecation periods or delay, +0 to adding the existing function with a new name (as long as warnings are clearly visible) I would also support backporting a warning to haddocks for versions before the "fix" Tom El Jan 5, 2015, a las 18:44, Brandon Allbery escribió:

Aside: can we look at what other languages with similar functions do?

You will find that essentially all other implementations do the right thing and not follow symlinks, because the other behavior is a severe bug. I really do not understand why anyone believes the current behavior is defensible.
