Description
The repo contains a symlink (docs/index.rst -> ../README.rst), which has the effect that unpacking funcsigs
on Windows requires admin rights.
Admin rights are required due to Windows not generally allowing (temporarily) dangling symlinks, as explained e.g. in this thread.
The reason why this matters is that distributing funcsigs
as a packed bundle is common for systems depending on funcsigs
, such as GoogleCloudPlatform/gsutil.
gsutil
in turn is used in projects like Chrome and Dart.
Example issue: dart-lang/sdk#41729
I see a few ways to address this issue:
- Delete
docs/index.rst
if it's not strictly needed and just points toREADME.rst
anyway. - Replace the symlink at
docs/index.rst
with a file containing a short text message, telling the user to look atREADME.rst
instead. - Copy
README.rst
todocs/index.rst
.
