I am unsure if a proper fix should only have
_top_level_inferred()
recurse/walk into symlinked directories, or if the recurse/walk should also apply toDistribution.files()
.
My instinct is that Distribution.files()
should be naive and return the files for the virtual package as installed and not resolve to the linked content - at least until such a time that linked packages are more formally defined and accepted as a standard in the Python ecosystem.
This is accompanying issue #452: The first commit adds a test case to demonstrate the issue, and the second attempt is a first, rough, attempt at fixing it.
