Minor observations re. repository

[maro]

I've repeated a repository check (using my little script which is now in http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=3768)

The result is here:

Unexpected entries
        src -> ../tce/src

Unexpected files
        appbrowser-cli.tcz.old
        appbrowser-cli.tcz.old.list
        appbrowser-cli.tcz.old.md5.txt
        footer.template
        header.template
        libv4l.tcbuild
        top.template

Missing INFO files
        opera-locale.tcz.info

Surplus LIST files
        appbrowser-cli.tcz.old.list

Surplus MD5 files
        appbrowser-cli.tcz.old.md5.txt

I've highlighted the files which are possibly of interest, since Jason had already provided some rationale for the other entries.

The fact that opera-locale.tcz has no info file indicates to me that it's probably surplus to requirements.  It's contents looks fairly similar to opera10-locale.tcz, so I assume it is an earlier version of the same.

Another finding, which the script did not reveal, is the existence of two hidden files. They show up when syncing my private mirror and can be seen with:

Code: [Select]

$ rsync --no-motd distro.ibiblio.org::distros/tinycorelinux/2.x/tcz/.*
-rw-r--r--       12288 2009/11/19 11:11:32 .python-dev.tcz.dep.swo
-rw-r--r--       12288 2009/11/19 11:09:42 .python-dev.tcz.dep.swp

opera-locale.tcz* and libv4l.tcbuild are removed.  The old appbrowser-cli I am unsure if it is needed for reference by it's author, so it remains.

The hidden python-dev files were from aborted vi sessions, they are removed.

Thanks.

Another iteration of the same check shows today (after removing the already known *.template files):

Unexpected files
   iproute2.tcz.BUILD
   perl_Tk.tcz.tar.gz
   perl_YAML_Tiny.tcz.tar.gz
   postfix.tcz.BUILD
   tcpdump.tcz.BUILD
   tempfile

Surplus DEP files
   pysqlite2.tczl.dep

[Jason W]

Removed.  As tar.gz and BUILD files don't normally have tcz in the name, they were uploaded with the batch of extensions.

Did just another spot check and only saw "tempfile" as a potentially surplus file in the repository.

[Jason W]

Fixed.

Thanks

I re-ran this check today with the following result:

Missing LIST files
   Xfbdev.core.tcz.list
   Xorg-vesa-lite.core.tcz.list
   libtool-dev.tcz.list
   tce-notify.tcz.list

[maro]

It's been a while since I ran this check last, and here are the current candidates for a "repository cleanup":

Code: [Select]

Unexpected files
        filesmylist
        filetemp
        postal.tcz.build
        wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tcz.zsync

Missing LIST files
        OSS_alsa.tcz.list
        iana-etc.tcz.list
        libtool-dev.tcz.list
        schumacher-clean-fonts.tcz.list
        tce-notify.tcz.list
        xsetroot.tcz.list

Surplus DEP files
        flash.tcz.dep

Thanks, it's done!
