Surplus files and directories in the 3.x extension repository
« on: February 15, 2011, 07:35:37 PM »
I've noticed that the 3.x extension repository contains since early Nov. 2010 a couple of unexpected directories:
Code: [Select]
    freerdp
    gpredict
    xcb-proto
    xpyb
    xz
I have the impression that the files in those directories are sources and / or build scripts. I therefore assume that they should rather be under the 'src' directory. I assume those directories were just not moved to the correct destination.

Futhermore there appear to exist a couple of files that one would not expect to find there:
Code: [Select]
    Xfce4.tcz.lst
    file.tcz.md5.
    fireflysung.tcz.md5
    flrec.tcz.md5
    gssdp.tcz.ms5.txt
    isc-dhcp.tcz.md5
    masterlist
    openbox-dev.tcz.dev
    perl_xml_parser
    pygtk-2.7.tcz-dev.dep
    pygtk-2.7.tcz-dev.tree
    sox.tcz.md5
    sword.tcz.lst
    xfdesktop.tcz.info.dep
    xfdesktop.tcz.info.tree
The majority of those looks to me like a set of slightly misspelled file names.

Thanks, I cleaned them up but for one or two I will look in to.

I've re-run my little test which essentially uses 'rsync' to produce a file listing of '.../3.x/tcz' and then
    grep -vE "\.tcz(|\.(dep|info|list|md5\.txt|tree|zsync))$"
to eliminate known extension types. There are the "expected" entries of:
Code: [Select]
footer.template
footer.template.nojs
header.template
header.template.nojs
index.html
index_nojs.html
info.lst
info.lst.gz
mirrors.lst
sizelist
sizelist.gz
source
table.html
top.template
top.template.nojs
updates.html
src
plus the ones that I'd consider to be "surplus" like:
Code: [Select]
Xfce4.tcz.lst
araneum-0.8.2.tcz.md5
gssdp.tcz.ms5.txt
masterlist
perl_xml_parser
test.html
tolua++-dev.tcz.info.list
which (as before) appear to be mostly results of some misspelling. Maybe the latter list could receive some TLC.

Thanks for reporting, I dealt with the lower list of unexpected files.

Great!!

Is there any reason of having 'masterlist' (from 2010-05-02) and 'test.html' (from 2011-03-26) still hanging around?

My guess is that they are not essential, at least for test.html, but since I am personally not sure of that I left them alone.

Thanks.
