I'm still wondering if we want one more patch: now that we document that readlink -f link/ succeeds, with the claim that 'mkdir link/' will also succeed, we should make sure of that. Right now, Solaris systems work (mkdir(2) follows POSIX), but GNU/Linux reject it (since mkdir(2) fails with EEXIST on a slashed symlink). What's worse, I wonder if we have a bug on Solaris: $ rm -Rf ? $ ln -s a b $ mkdir -p b/c mkdir: cannot create directory `b': File exists $ mkdir b/ $ mkdir b/c or if it is a bug in POSIX, since it describes mkdir -p in terms of "$(dirname dir)" rather than "$(dirname dir)/". The native Solaris /bin/mkdir also fails with mkdir -p b/c, but with ENOENT. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
