<p>A <em class="dfn">symlink</em> is a symbolic link. A symlink can be <em class="dfn">relative</em> or
|
||||
<em class="dfn">absolute</em>. An absolute symlink names a full path; that is, one
|
||||
starting from <samp class="file">/</samp>. A relative symlink names a relative path; that
|
||||
is, one not starting from <samp class="file">/</samp>. The target of a relative symlink is
|
||||
computed starting from the symlink’s own directory. Stow only
|
||||
creates relative symlinks.
|
||||
<p>A <em class="dfn">symlink</em> is a symbolic link, i.e. an entry on the filesystem
|
||||
whose path is sometimes called the <em class="dfn">symlink source</em>, which points to
|
||||
another location on the filesystem called the <em class="dfn">symlink destination</em>.
|
||||
There is no guarantee that the destination actually exists.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>In general, symlinks can be <em class="dfn">relative</em> or <em class="dfn">absolute</em>. A symlink
|
||||
is absolute when the destination names a full path; that is, one
|
||||
starting from <samp class="file">/</samp>. A symlink is relative when the destination
|
||||
names a relative path; that is, one not starting from <samp class="file">/</samp>. The
|
||||
destination of a relative symlink is computed starting from the
|
||||
symlink’s own directory, i.e. the directory containing the symlink
|
||||
source.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<blockquote class="quotation">
|
||||
<p><b class="b">Note:</b> Stow only creates symlinks within the target directory which point to
|
||||
locations <em class="emph">outside</em> the target directory and inside the stow
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>Consequently, we avoid referring to symlink destinations as symlink
|
||||
<em class="emph">targets</em>, since this would result in the word “target” having
|
||||
two different meanings:
|
||||
</p>
|

<ol class="enumerate">

<li> the target directory, i.e. the directory into which Stow targets

</li><li> the destinations of those symlinks.
|
||||
|
||||
</li></ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If we did not avoid the second meaning of “target”, then it would lead
|
||||
to confusing language, such as describing Stow as installing symlinks
|
||||
into the target directory which point to targets <em class="emph">outside</em> the
|
||||
target directory.
|

</p>
|
||||
<p>Similarly, the word “source” can have two different meanings in this

context:

</p>
|

<ol class="enumerate">
|

<li> the installation image, or some of its contents, and

destination).

<p>Therefore it should also be avoided, or at least care taken to ensure

that the meaning is not ambiguous.

|

<p>A <em class="dfn">symlink</em> is a symbolic link. A symlink can be <em class="dfn">relative</em> or
|
||||
<em class="dfn">absolute</em>. An absolute symlink names a full path; that is, one
|
||||
starting from <samp class="file">/</samp>. A relative symlink names a relative path; that
|
||||
is, one not starting from <samp class="file">/</samp>. The target of a relative symlink is
|
||||
computed starting from the symlink’s own directory. Stow only
|
||||
creates relative symlinks.
|
||||
<p>A <em class="dfn">symlink</em> is a symbolic link, i.e. an entry on the filesystem
|
||||
whose path is sometimes called the <em class="dfn">symlink source</em>, which points to
|
||||
another location on the filesystem called the <em class="dfn">symlink destination</em>.
|
||||
There is no guarantee that the destination actually exists.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>In general, symlinks can be <em class="dfn">relative</em> or <em class="dfn">absolute</em>. A symlink
|
||||
is absolute when the destination names a full path; that is, one
|
||||
starting from <samp class="file">/</samp>. A symlink is relative when the destination
|
||||
names a relative path; that is, one not starting from <samp class="file">/</samp>. The
|
||||
destination of a relative symlink is computed starting from the
|
||||
symlink’s own directory, i.e. the directory containing the symlink
|
||||
source.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<blockquote class="quotation">
|
||||
<p><b class="b">Note:</b> Stow only creates symlinks within the target directory which point to
|
||||
locations <em class="emph">outside</em> the target directory and inside the stow
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>Consequently, we avoid referring to symlink destinations as symlink
|
||||
<em class="emph">targets</em>, since this would result in the word “target” having
|
||||
two different meanings:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ol class="enumerate">
|
||||
<li> the target directory, i.e. the directory into which Stow targets
|
||||
installation, where symlinks are managed by Stow, and
|
||||
|
||||
</li><li> the destinations of those symlinks.
|
||||
|
||||
</li></ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If we did not avoid the second meaning of “target”, then it would lead
|
||||
to confusing language, such as describing Stow as installing symlinks
|
||||
into the target directory which point to targets <em class="emph">outside</em> the
|
||||
target directory.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>Similarly, the word “source” can have two different meanings in this
|
||||
context:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ol class="enumerate">
|
||||
<li> the installation image, or some of its contents, and
|

|
||||
</li><li> the location of symlinks (the “source” of the link, vs. its
|
||||
destination).
|
||||
|
||||
</li></ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Therefore it should also be avoided, or at least care taken to ensure
|
||||
that the meaning is not ambiguous.

|
||||
|
||||
A “symlink” is a symbolic link. A symlink can be “relative” or
|
||||
“absolute”. An absolute symlink names a full path; that is, one
|
||||
starting from ‘/’. A relative symlink names a relative path; that is,
|
||||
one not starting from ‘/’. The target of a relative symlink is computed
|
||||
starting from the symlink's own directory. Stow only creates relative
|
||||
symlinks.
|
||||
A “symlink” is a symbolic link, i.e. an entry on the filesystem whose
|
||||
path is sometimes called the “symlink source”, which points to another
|
||||
location on the filesystem called the “symlink destination”. There is
|
||||
no guarantee that the destination actually exists.
|
||||
|
||||
In general, symlinks can be “relative” or “absolute”. A symlink is
|
||||
absolute when the destination names a full path; that is, one starting
|
||||
from ‘/’. A symlink is relative when the destination names a relative
|
||||
path; that is, one not starting from ‘/’. The destination of a relative
|
||||
symlink is computed starting from the symlink's own directory, i.e. the
|
||||
directory containing the symlink source.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Stow only creates symlinks within the target directory which
|
||||
point to locations _outside_ the target directory and inside the
|
||||
stow directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Consequently, we avoid referring to symlink destinations as symlink
|
||||
_targets_, since this would result in the word "target" having two
|
||||
different meanings:
|
||||
|
||||
1. the target directory, i.e. the directory into which Stow
|
||||
targets installation, where symlinks are managed by Stow, and
|
||||
|
||||
2. the destinations of those symlinks.
|
||||
|
||||
If we did not avoid the second meaning of "target", then it would
|
||||
lead to confusing language, such as describing Stow as installing
|
||||
symlinks into the target directory which point to targets _outside_
|
||||
the target directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, the word "source" can have two different meanings in
|
||||
this context:
|
||||
|
||||
1. the installation image, or some of its contents, and
|
||||
|
||||
2. the location of symlinks (the "source" of the link, vs. its
|
||||
destination).
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore it should also be avoided, or at least care taken to
|
||||
ensure that the meaning is not ambiguous.

You can report bugs to the current maintainers in one of three ways:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Send e-mail to <bug-stow@gnu.org>.
|
||||
|
||||
2. File an issue in the Savannah bug tracker
|

(https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=stow).

|

3. File an issue in the GitHub project
|

(https://github.com/aspiers/stow/issues/).

While GitHub is arguably the most convenient of these three options,
|
||||
it is not the most ethical or freedom-preserving way to host software
|
||||
projects
|
||||
(https://www.gnu.org/software/repo-criteria-evaluation.html#GitHub).
|
||||
Therefore the GitHub project may be moved to a more ethical hosting
|
||||
service (https://github.com/aspiers/stow/issues/43) in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
Before reporting a bug, it is recommended to check whether it is
|

already known, so please first *note Known Bugs::.

When reporting a new bug, please include:
