EVTwin data included twice

Open LourensVeen opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

On a fresh clone of the main branch, I have amuse/src/amuse/community/evtwin/data/input/input and also amuse/src/amuse/community/evtwin/src/trunk/input and they are identical except for zahb.dat, which seems to contain some parameters that are slightly different between the two.

That's 172MB of duplicated data. Putting that much data into a Git repository is a bit iffy already, but doing it twice seems excessive.

The simplest solution would be some symlinks I guess.

I doubt the src/trunk directory is used at all.

Maybe if you build binaries and use those by calling them from Python? Of course no one would do that, except there's one code that does just that instead of having a proper AMUSE interface, and I know of one user who does that with another code, so...

It's easy to symlink, the only issue is that we need to check that the actual data is included into any packages that are generated, and not just some now-dangling symlinks.
