Description

When unzipping the file TYPO-Neos-1.0-alpha1, a number of symlinks with nonexistent targets are created in the Web/_Resources/Static/Packages folder:

linking: TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/TYPO3.Aloha  -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Application/TYPO3.Aloha/Resources/Public 
    linking: TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/TYPO3.ExtJS  -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Application/TYPO3.ExtJS/Resources/Public 
    linking: TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/TYPO3.Flow  -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Framework/TYPO3.Flow/Resources/Public 
    linking: TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/TYPO3.Fluid  -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Framework/TYPO3.Fluid/Resources/Public 
    linking: TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/TYPO3.PhoenixDemoTypo3Org  -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Sites/TYPO3.PhoenixDemoTypo3Org/Resources/Public 
    linking: TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/TYPO3.Setup  -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Application/TYPO3.Setup/Resources/Public 
    linking: TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/TYPO3.TYPO3  -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Application/TYPO3.TYPO3/Resources/Public 
    linking: TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/Twitter.Bootstrap  -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Application/Twitter.Bootstrap/Resources/Public 
(...)
finishing deferred symbolic links:
  TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/TYPO3.Aloha -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Application/TYPO3.Aloha/Resources/Public
  TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/TYPO3.ExtJS -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Application/TYPO3.ExtJS/Resources/Public
  TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/TYPO3.Flow -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Framework/TYPO3.Flow/Resources/Public
  TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/TYPO3.Fluid -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Framework/TYPO3.Fluid/Resources/Public
  TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/TYPO3.PhoenixDemoTypo3Org -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Sites/TYPO3.PhoenixDemoTypo3Org/Resources/Public
  TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/TYPO3.Setup -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Application/TYPO3.Setup/Resources/Public
  TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/TYPO3.TYPO3 -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Application/TYPO3.TYPO3/Resources/Public
  TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/Twitter.Bootstrap -> /Volumes/data/htdocs/neos-build/Packages/Application/Twitter.Bootstrap/Resources/Public

The setup program tries to create the folders, e.g. TYPO3.Aloha in the Packages folder. Since the symlink already exists, the creating of the folder fails with a fatal error:

Uncaught Exception
Could not create directory
"/.../TYPO3-Neos-1.0-alpha1/Web/_Resources/Static/Packages/TYPO3.Aloha/Aloha"!

Temporary solution:
Delete the symlinks in the Web/_Resources/Static/Packages folder after unzipping.

I uploaded a new archive without the symlinks and empty caches, that should work more reliable.
