Should content/symlink_to_dir be followed ?

[jokester]

I am using nanoc3.6.2 with ruby2.0 under linux.

Symbolic link to directory under content/ are not counted, due to ruby's Dir[] here.

Should it be followed as symlink_to_file is? It would be convenience if I can ln -s '../vendor/xxx' content/xxx

Not completely tested, but

- Dir[dir_name + '/**/*']
+ Dir[dir_name + '{,**/*}/**/*']

seems to work, by following symlink of dir at most once.

nanoc doesn’t follow symlinks but it definitely should.

The fix you give may work for a single indirection, but I’d ideally like multiple indirections (with a fixed limit so it doesn’t recurse indefinitely). It’s on the to-do list for nanoc 3.6.x!

Glad to know it's going to be improved. Will just use the patch locally before that.

Implemented in #302.
