描述

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.

研究方向
Investigate the linked Unix & Linux Stack Exchange question and the comment in canon path (lib/Stow/Util.pm.in line 178) to understand the expected behavior. Review the clarification from maintainer @aspiers about this being separate from issues #51 and #3. Look at the existing code in lib/Stow/Util.pm.in and how stow resolves paths, then propose a change to support the stow directory being a symlink.
