.SH BUGS
Please report bugs in Stow using the Debian bug tracking system.
Please report bugs in Stow to <bug-stow@gnu.org>.
.PP
Currently known bugs include:
.IP *
The empty-directory problem. If package FOO includes an empty
directory--say, FOO/BAR--then:
.IP
1.
if no other package has a BAR subdirectory, everything's fine.
.IP
2.
if another stowed package, QUUX, has a BAR subdirectory, then
when stowing, TARGETDIR/BAR will be ``split open'' and the
contents of QUUX/BAR will be individually stowed. So far, so
good. But when unstowing QUUX, TARGETDIR/BAR will be
removed, even though FOO/BAR needs it to remain. A
workaround for this problem is to create a file in FOO/BAR as
a placeholder. If you name that file
.IR .placeholder ,
it will
be easy to find and remove such files when this bug is fixed.
.IP *
When using multiple stow directories (see ``Multiple stow
directories'' in the info manual), Stow fails to ``split open'' tree-folding symlinks
(see ``Installing packages'' in the info manual) that point into a stow directory
