Thanks for the report. However, this is unlikely to be changed in 'rmdir', because POSIX already standardized 'rm -r' as the way to recursively remove directories. So many people are used to 'rm -r' doing what you are asking for, that adding an extension of 'rmdir -r' as an alternative would only cause confusion, not to mention that the extension would not be available everywhere like 'rm -r' already is. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org From unknown Wed Jun 18 23:12:00 2025 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: MIME-tools 5.427 (Entity 5.427) X-Loop: help-debbugs@gnu.org From: help-debbugs@gnu.org (GNU bug Tracking System) To: "Olivier LE GUEN" Subject: bug#9931: closed (Re: bug#9931: Remove a non empty directory) Message-ID: References: <4EB01B3B.9030807@redhat.com> <20111101105547.297650@gmx.com> X-Gnu-PR-Message: they-closed 9931 X-Gnu-PR-Package: coreutils X-Gnu-PR-Keywords: notabug Reply-To: 9931@debbugs.gnu.org Date: Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:19:02 +0000 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----------=_1320164342-9438-1" This is a multi-part message in MIME format... ------------=_1320164342-9438-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Your bug report #9931: Remove a non empty directory which was filed against the coreutils package, has been closed.
