#===== METHOD ================================================================
|
||||
# Name : cleanup_invalid_links()
|
||||
# Purpose : clean up invalid links that may block folding
|
||||
# Purpose : clean up orphaned links that may block folding
|
||||
# Parameters: $dir => path to directory to check
|
||||
# Returns : n/a
|
||||
# Throws : no exceptions
|
||||
# Comments : removing files from a stowed package is probably a bad practice
|
||||
# : so this kind of clean up is not _really_ stow's responsibility;
|
||||
# : however, failing to clean up can block tree folding, so we'll do
|
||||
# : it anyway
|
||||
# Comments : This is invoked by unstow_contents().
|
||||
# : We only clean up links which are both orphaned and owned by
|
||||
# : Stow, i.e. they point to a non-existent location within a
|
||||
# : Stow package. These can block tree folding, and they can
|
||||
# : easily occur when a file in Stow package is renamed or removed,
|
||||
# : so the benefit should outweigh the low risk of actually someone
|
||||
# : wanting to keep an orphaned link to within a Stow package.
