[Chicken-users] Re: New directory during extension install

2010-10-22 Thread Jim Ursetto
Oh, thank you.  That's the first good explanation I got regarding the
difference between (posix create-directory) and (chicken eggs
create-directory/parents).

That means I can't create directories without creating their parents
then, right?  Say out of some misguided safety precaution I don't want
to accidentally create a large directory tree if I make a typo.

 Hi,

 Probably better to use the 'setup-api' routine 'create-directory/parents'
 instead of the 'posix' 'create-directory' since the former will obey
 chicken-install -sudo.

 Best Wishes,

Yes, that is very real problem. Probably should be entered as a some  
sort of bug.
