Beschreibung

Should we support the issue raised at Unix & Linux Stack Exchange: "symlink - Can GNU Stow use a stow directory that is a symbolic link?" ?

It seems that former Stow developers had this in mind, base on the comment in canon_path

EDIT: Clarification from @aspiers:

  • This issue is about the Stow directory being a symlink.
  • #51 is about package trees containing absolute symlinks.
  • #3 is about the symlinks which Stow manages in the target directory being absolute symlinks.
