Hi,

Marius Bakke <marius <at> gnu.org> skribis:

> On the 'core-updates' branch, using copy-recursively on a nonexistent
> directory does not cause a build failure.  Instead an error is printed

>   starting phase `install'
>   i/o error: doesnotexist: No such file or directory
>   phase `install' succeeded after 0.0 seconds

Thanks,
Ludo’.
