[Rd] rw1020 Rcmd INSTALL path\ deletes rw1020\library\* (PR#789)
The trailing backslash seems to be the culprit.
After looking at rw1020\bin\INSTALL, I noticed
$pkg =~ s/\/$//;
which I assume is to strip the trailing slash from a package name
before obtaining the package name and cleaning out its directory
I added
$pkg =~ s/\\$//;
immediately after this line. Rerunning
Rcmd INSTALL C:\rw1011\src\library\bqtl\
with that change seemed to work OK
The session follows further below.
----------------------------------------
More details:
Using cmdproxy.exe under emacs shell-mode under Win98,
It seems that the problem arose when I used
Rcmd INSTALL C:\rw1011\src\library\bqtl\
A subsequent
Rcmd INSTALL C:\rw1011\src\library\bqtl
also failed.
Inspection showed that all the directories under C:\rw1011\src\library
were gone.
I reran rwinst.exe to put them back in place
then I reran
Rcmd INSTALL C:\rw1011\src\library\bqtl
and everything seemed to go thru OK (up to creating chtml, which the
system was not configured to do anyway. But library(bqtl) works, examples
all run, all seems OK, etc.)

[Rd] rw1020 Rcmd INSTALL path\ deletes rw1020\library\* (PR#789)
Using a trailing dir separator is wrong, and Windows is much less tolerant of it than most Unixes. I have not checked most of these utilities using \, only /, as the shells I use demand \ be doubled and do path completion only with /. The diagnosis is correct: basename in Perl is failing when given that path. I will add some sanity checks.
