Cleanup of medley repo -- proposal

Open masinter opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

I think we need to move things around a bit to clean up. Here are some ideas for discussion:

  • remove inactive files from the repo -- 'obsolete' 'fontsold' 'fonts/altofonts' -- maybe do this last

  • keep 'loadups' for all results of doing a loadup -- lisp.sysout whereis.hash exports.all fuller.database *.dribble

  • move *.venuesysout out of the repo

  • add a new folder to hold starter.sysout

  • move rooms to be under library

  • separate legacy lispusers (updated but made 20 years ago) from modern stuff

Then we'd have

  • sources (used to make lisp.sysout)
  • sources-init (only used by makeinit?)
  • library (loaded into full.sysout)
  • library-new (modernize et al)
  • lispusers (only those that have been tested)
  • lispusers-unsorted (to be moved into lispusers or tossed)
  • greetfiles -- just in a lispusers/init folder, rename MEDLEYDIR-INIT to INIT-MEDLEYDIR
  • change the loadup process to just make the files where they should wind up, instead of making them in tmp and copying.

From #913
