Do we need `SD.zip` as an archived copy of `SD` directory? about zxuno HOT 7 CLOSED

The content of SD.zip is different from that one in SD directory. The command diff -qr SD.zip/ SD/ shows:

Only in SD/BIN: BACKUP
Only in SD/BIN: CORCLEAN
Only in SD/BIN: COREBIOS
Only in SD/BIN: UPGRADE
Only in SD.zip/SYS: AUTOBOOT.BAS
Files SD.zip/SYS/CONFIG/ESXDOS.CFG and SD/SYS/CONFIG/ESXDOS.CFG differ
Files SD.zip/SYS/CONFIG/TRDOS.CFG and SD/SYS/CONFIG/TRDOS.CFG differ
Only in SD.zip/SYS: CUSTOM
Only in SD.zip/SYS: CUSTOM.ASM
Only in SD.zip/SYS: CUSTOM.ZDSP
Only in SD.zip/SYS: NMI.INC
Only in SD.zip/SYS: NMI.PUBLICS
Only in SD.zip/SYS: README.TXT

(SYS/CONFIG/*.CFG files are equal except line endings). Should extra files be extracted from SD.zip back into SD directory? This will ease the update script if it needed (by the way it's already written, but not uploaded because of these differences)

from zxuno.

Part of Makefile to test for an auto-update of SD.zip file process:

# update-SD.zip

# Update only if structure or content of files are different. Timestamps are ignored.
# Temporary files, directories:
#   SD.old/ .SD_old_created .SD_differs .SD_done SD_new.zip

.PHONY: update-SD.zip
update-SD.zip: .SD_done
	rm -f $<

.SD_done: .SD_old_created
	rm -f .SD_differs
	diff -r SD.old SD >/dev/null || if test $$? -eq 1; then touch .SD_differs; else echo 'diff failed!'; false; fi
	rm -f $<
	rm -rf SD.old
	if test -f .SD_differs; then cd SD && zip -9qr ../SD_new.zip .; fi
	if test -f SD_new.zip; then mv SD_new.zip SD.zip; fi
	rm -f .SD_differs
	touch $@

.SD_old_created:
	rm -rf SD.old
	mkdir SD.old
	if test -f SD.zip; then unzip -nqd SD.old SD.zip; fi
	touch $@

.PHONY: clean-update-SD.zip
clean-update-SD.zip:
	rm -f .SD_old_created .SD_differs .SD_done SD_new.zip
	rm -rf SD.old

Update: make update-SD.zip
Clean: make clean-update-SD.zip

Yes. I think we must offer this redundant file because there is not easier alternative to people to download a folder from github

from zxuno.

How about using a release? When creating one, you can attach other files apart from the automatic archival of the source code.

Ok. It's good to me using a release
