Hobbes (Files) Reoganization
Dave Yeo:
Seems to me that the ideal would be to leave the major releases, if that can be figured out.
Trimming down to the latest, while often a good idea, sometimes leads to replacing a good version with a not so good version. In the case of Uniaud, I've often heard of systems that need an older version.
Andreas Schnellbacher:
Yes, I agree with Dave.
Plus: The programmer is the one who knows best which version should be kept.
The question seems to be a bit theoretical since more and more ancient drivers are uploaded. Even when someone prefers the original SPEA-V7 driver, I don't guess what's the benefit of keeping the older 2.02 release.
If they would be moved to a separate dir, I won't complain. But how about an older Uniaud driver then?
Lars:
It's not zero or one. You can keep say the last 3 driver versions or so. But it would be helpful to clearly separate the very latest from the rest. The intention is: make a new user take the latest version. Only if that fails, should he delve into it more deeply and try an older version.
Maybe an archive directory with the very same sublayout as the existing main dir would help. Whenever something is superseded by newer stuff, then move the existing stuff to the same subdir in that archive directory.
I myself keep older versions of my USB drivers only for a limited time. But since I properly tagged my source files, I would be able to recreate exactly one specific version (for example, to recreate an error case).

Hi

Which ones should we keep in addition of the latest " Uniaud-20210320.exe" ?
My bet would be.

Trying to be the latest of each version, but I would also have to check the Netlabs ftp to be sure about it.
Any other bets?
Regards
Dave Yeo:
That looks like a pretty good compromise as long as they're also archived somewhere else.
