The argument given was the 'olc' (and 'scripting') stuff is generally large enough of a package beyond the size of the other contributions. Everything is up for debate, of course. >The idea was that those three directories would be rather sparse, so that >people could separate between addons for Oasis/Obuild, the actual >releases, and other material. Having an 'old/' directory might be nice, especially when someone changes the name of a package when they update it so you don't know which to use. >You could go further with the organization and do: > > contrib/code/olc/ > 00Index > GenOLC/ > 00Index > GenOLC-0.0.tar.gz 1.0 thank-you-very-much. :) > addons/ > docs/ > old/ Where do we draw the line at directory or subdirectory? >But that might be taking it too far.

Maybe, but I would like to clear out some of the stuff since it dates back to bpl8. On a side note, I've been arguing for a '/contrib/3.x'-like split and we seem to agree that if a 4.x (or 3.5 or whatever) ever occurred, we'd go: /2.x/docs /3.x/contrib /3.x/docs /4.x/contrib /4.x/docs with the 'Y.x' directory having the server itself. The directory split (2.x/3.x) doesn't seem to allow a neat division of two versions for contributions of say, 3.0 and 3.1, which we'll be doing. (Betas get 3.0, the actual release getting 3.1.) >> I find that to be a pain, because then you don't know quickly which >> version you've downloaded without renaming the package or looking >> inside. > >In which case, name the link exactly the same as the file. :) I meant when you download it, not poke at it on the server. >> Online creation is also an area editor, why the preferential treatment? > >I was assuming olc/ could be moved under code/, then. Let's not make 'code' too heavy. A 'contrib' directory with only 'areas, code, misc' isn't hyper-organized. -- George Greer | If it's about the CircleMUD mailing list, greerga@circlemud.org | mail owner-circle@post.queensu.ca instead. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
