House cleaning my tce folder

Once I have installed and tested an extension, do I need to keep the md5 and dep files?

If you remove the .tcz extension itself, you can (you must) delete corresponding .dep and .md5.txt

If you are using the extension, you must keep them.

I guess the md5 file could be useful to check if the extension has become corrupted at some point in the future, but I have not kept them for downloaded extensions and have not had a problem.

You will need to keep the dep files for extensions in /tce that need other extensions to load first - eg dbus, cups - and to make life simpler to load locally from folders other than /tce. It is much easier to load the gtk2 extension (for example) if the dep file is present than to load the deps one-by-one.

I thought the md5 files are used for updating.

Am I wrong?

When I was using tce's I read somewhere on this forum that it was safe to delete the .dep and .md5sum's. I've done this since without any problems. Maybe I shouldn't do it anymore...

I've been using tinycore on and off since 1.3 and I've just installed 2.4.1.
