<SvenDowideit> pseudo-install.pl PersonalInfoAddOn is making foswiki/pub/Main a softlink to PersonalInfoAddOn/pub/Main!
<SvenDowideit> thats naf as a naf thing!
<Babar> yeah, it always tries to link as high up as it can
<Babar> causes issues for a lot of things unfortunately :(

Also causes problem with Foswiki::Configure::Checkers. First plugin which gets pseudo-installed, which has a checker, Foswiki/Configure/Checkers/Plugins gets symlinked into that plugin's Foswiki/Configure/Checkers/Plugins dir.

The desired behaviour is to create the empty directory in core.

So we either need to create empty directories (easy fix), or give pseudo-install special knowledge of where the plugin/core boundaries are when it comes to directory layout.

This has commits - is it fixed?

Just a band-aid. I created a README in the Plugins dir in core, so that pseudo won't try to symlink Plugins from some random plugin.

Another band-aid for pub/Sandbox added, see duplicate Item13918 for details

Elastoplast is fine. They help define the directory structure and are low cost. Importing special knowledge of the directory structure into pseudo-install is a non-starter.

And Item13577 is another duplicate report.
