http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13353 <delete> follows symbolic links to directories at risk of great data loss! ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-10-10 23:50 ------- Sorry, original comments about bug being introduced since August were probably wrong. There is some discussion about something similar here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-dev&m=102953577003770&w=2 but no sign of any such changes in taskdefs.Delete.removeDir(File) or exec(). My <delete> task was <delete dir="test/unit/output"/> and I haven't tried a fileset but think that even if there is a way of not deleting symbolic links, it is still a bug. It seems to me that any cases where you want to follow a symbolic link to directory and delete files (because you are not picking them up directly) are very obscure. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
