#1459 PR merged: Enhance and cleanup the DIRECTORIES_TO_CREATE functionality¶

Labels: enhancement, cleanup, fixed / solved / done

jsmeix opened issue at 2017-08-28 15:39:¶

First (only quickly tested) try to enhance and cleanup
the DIRECTORIES_TO_CREATE functionality.

As of today symbolic links are not yet supported
but (hopefully) tomorrow...
and
DIRECTORIES_TO_CREATE is not yet documented
perhaps (more hopefully) the day after tomorrow...

"on behalf of rear/contributors" is there any way how can I approve PR just on my behalf?
I don't like to speak for others ;-) ...

Now DIRECTORIES_TO_CREATE is described in default.conf
and - at least for me - things seem to work well.

The good thing is that with DIRECTORIES_TO_CREATE
any user can now explicitly specify directories and symlinks
that are missing in his particular environment
after his particular backup restore.
