Olivier Lamy updated CONTINUUM-971:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: CONTINUUM-971
patch attached.
> Symbolic links are traversed on deletion
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: CONTINUUM-971
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-971
> Project: Continuum
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Environmental
> Affects Versions: 1.0.3
> Environment: Reproduced on Redhat Enterprise 4 but applicable to all
> forms of UNIX
> Reporter: Uri Moszkowicz
> Assignee: Olivier Lamy
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.1-beta-2
>
> Attachments: CONTINUUM-971
>
>
> To reproduce:
> 1. Create a project that checks out files from some SCM
> 2. Create a build script that creates symbolic links outside of the checked
> out project sandbox. This is often done to bring outside libraries into the
> project.
> 3. Delete the created project from the Continuum website. Notice how all
> kinds of files disappear from your file system!
> From looking at the release logs it looks like someone added follow symbolic
> links as the default and mentioned that at some point in the future an option
> should be added to disable this behavior. Following symbolic links is very
> dangerous and if supported it should be disabled by default, not the reverse.
> A warning should be posted in a visible place for the existing versions until
> this can be fixed as it can result in significant data loss outside of the
> Continuum program.
