Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that I did a little cleanup on the FreeDOS files archive at Ibiblio.
In the
/files/dos directory, I've gone through several of the directories to clean up the
organization.
Over the history of
using the files archive on Ibiblio, I haven't really done a great job at keeping things clean. For example, there was one directory for
FreeDOS Choice at /files/dos/choice and
all of the releases for FreeDOS
Choice lived there
, just dumped in one directory listing:
choice201.zip
choice20.zip
choice30.zip
choice31.zip
choice33.zip
choice35a.zip
choice35b.zip
choice35.zip
choice36a.zip
choice36b.zip
choice36c.zip
choice36d.zip
choice36e.zip
choice36.zip
choice37.zip
choice38a.zip
choice38b.zip
choice38.zip
choice41.zip
choice42a.zip
choice42b.zip
choice43a.zip
choice43.zip
choice44s.zip
choice44x.zip
If you wanted to get the latest version of FreeDOS Choice, what file would you download? Would you grab the first one on the list (choice201.zip) or the last file in the list (choice44x.zip)? If you know the history of FreeDOS Choice, you would know that choice201.zip is version 2.01, and choice44x.zip is version 4.4.
Now I'
m going through and
creating subdirectories for
the different projects there, sorted out by release version. So that long list of files in
/files/dos/choice is now split out into subdirectories:
2.0/
3.0/
3.1/
3.3/
3.5/
3.6/
3.7/
3.8/
4.1/
4.2/
4.3/
4.4/
And inside each directory:
2.0:
choice201.zip choice20.zip
3.0:
choice30.zip
3.1:
choice31.zip
3.3:
choice33.zip
3.5:
choice35a.zip choice35b.zip choice35.zip
3.6:
choice36a.zip choice36c.zip choice36e.zip
choice36b.zip choice36d.zip choice36.zip
3.7:
choice37.zip
3.8:
choice38a.zip choice38b.zip choice38.zip
4.1:
choice41.zip
4.2:
alt_TE/ choice42a.zip choice42b.zip
4.3:
alt_TE/ choice43a.zip choice43.zip
4.4:
choice44s.zip choice44x.zip
I think that will make it easier for folks to find files as they explore the FreeDOS files archive at Ibiblio.
I haven't finished going through all the directories on Ibiblio yet .. that will take months. But wanted to let folks know I was doing it.
Jim
