Comments, Suggestions & Questions / Martin: please do not upload outdated drivers to Hobbes
« on: December 18, 2019, 09:14:39 am »
Hallo Martin,
I think it would be a good idea to not upload outdated drivers to Hobbes:
1) the Hobbes incoming directory is completely clogged up with old drivers and nobody seems to have interest to move that stuff to the final destination. This leads to the problem that other apps and drivers (like DFSee or my new USB drivers and other interesting apps) also get stuck in the incoming directory and never reach their final destination
2) there is a risk that people will download outdated drivers which have long been replaced by newer ones. This leads to all kinds of questions and requests for help which are unnecessary because various problems have been solved by newer drivers.
On the other hand, if you have old source code to upload, then go ahead. Old source code is always a good place to start off to create new stuff.
Regards,
Lars
