Hi, I upgraded from stow 1 to stow 2 last month for the GARStow packaging system; it's working happily, but I now get a "There are no outstanding operations to perform" warning nearly every time I use it. This is because I'm normally doing stow -R: I install software into /target/packages/hello-1.2, symlink that to /target/packages/hello, then "stow -R hello" to update the symlinks in the target directory. (I picked this scheme up from the University of Kent's sysadmins; I don't know whether they invented it themselves or got it from somewhere else...) The same problem would presumably apply if I was just installing new versions of software directly into /target/packages/hello; if a minor upgrade doesn't add or remove any files in the target directory, then restowing it will result in a warning. Would it make sense to just remove the warning? stow will still give an error if an operation fails, and in the case of a restow doing nothing is the ideal outcome. Thanks very much, -- Adam Sampson <[email protected]> <http://offog.org/>
