http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22632 Delete follows symbolic links to directories [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|WONTFIX | ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-08-22 16:25 ------- I have already tried your suggested solution, and many others, but have not come up with any solution which does what I want. Using 'followsymlinks="false"' as an attribute of delete or as an attribute of a nested fileset does prevent the files in the symbollically linked directory from being deleted, however the symbolic link itself is not deleted and hence the directory does not get deleted. I was expecting and need functionality similar to "rm -rf DIRNAME" which does not follow symbolic links, but does delete them. I have not been able to figure out any way to do this with the built-in tasks. I also wanted to mention that it does seem like followsymlinks='false' should be the default for the delete task. I work with several other developers who have been using ANT for a while, and not one knew about this. If the default cannot be changed, then a huge warning should be placed in the doc for the delete task. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
