Description
The repo contains a symlink (docs/index.rst -> ../README.rst), which has the effect that unpacking funcsigs on Windows requires admin rights.
Admin rights are required due to Windows not generally allowing (temporarily) dangling symlinks, as explained e.g. in this thread.
The reason why this matters is that distributing funcsigs as a packed bundle is common for systems depending on funcsigs, such as GoogleCloudPlatform/gsutil.
gsutil in turn is used in projects like Chrome and Dart.
Example issue: dart-lang/sdk#41729
I see a few ways to address this issue:
- Delete
docs/index.rstif it's not strictly needed and just points toREADME.rstanyway. - Replace the symlink at
docs/index.rstwith a file containing a short text message, telling the user to look atREADME.rstinstead. - Copy
README.rsttodocs/index.rst.
