Subject: [package-vc] Consider cleaning up files from install process
Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2023 00:24:55 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87il86lis7.fsf@breatheoutbreathe.in> (raw)
package-vc-install currently adds a number of files to a package's
repository which are not tracked by VC. It is inconvenience to add each
of them to a .gitignore file (or equivalent in other VC systems). Are
they necessary? Are you open to removing them in a clean up phase?
For example, when following these instructions to install hyperdrive.el:
https://ushin.org/hyperdrive/hyperdrive-manual.html#package_002dvc
the git repository ends up with these extra untracked files:
dir
hyperdrive-autoloads.el
hyperdrive-pkg.el
hyperdrive.info
Best,
Joseph
