#608 closed defect (fixed)

<remove> doesn't honor <base>

Reported by: neven@… Owned by: jamie@…
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: nALFS - Back End (XML Handlers) Version: SVN
Severity: normal Keywords:
Cc: jwrober@…

Description

It might be less error-prone if this is left like this (forcing a profile writer to use the _full_ path name).

In that case, docs must be updated/fixed to mention that feature.

Or, an option can be added so the user can choose the behavior of <remove> (might be too confusing).

I think it would be fine to make <remove> honor the base attribute. It's no more dangerous than mkdir/copy/link doing it, which they already do.

If you agree, assign this bug to me and I'll deal with it this weekend when I factor out the common code from the handlers into the library.

If not adding an option, I think we should at least add it under some macro, like REMOVE_HONORS_BASE or something.

Consider adding it to <download> and <unpack> as well.
