Hi all,
I noticed that src/bin/initdb/t/001_initdb.pl uses directly rm via a
system() call like that:
system_or_bail "rm -rf '$tempdir'/*";
This way of doing is not portable, particularly on platforms that do
not have rm like... Windows where the equivalent is del. And we could
actually use remove_tree with its option keep_root to get the same
effect in pure perl as mentioned here:
http://perldoc.perl.org/File/Path.html
With this formulation:
remove_tree($tempdir, {keep_root => 1});
Attached is a patch doing that.
Regards,
