You listed the order correctly. Unofficial/parts, Unofficial/p,
Official/parts, Official/p.

For now, let's limit ourselves to discussing graphics images. Some of the
distribution files *can't* be built on the server -- I haven't found any
linux software that can work with DOS self-extracting ARJ files.
Well, maybe we can keep the unofficial zip file
<http://www.ldraw.org/library/unofficial/ldrawunf.zip> up to date. Except I
wonder if make can remove deleted files from the zip?

Yes, but I'm pretty sure we can ignore official files for now - I'd rather
not take the processing time to check something that only changes at
specific times. And that gives us results we're not particularly interested
in getting.
Unless, of course, you want to help me keep Partsref up-to-date. :)
And when I say 'ignore', I mean leave the official files entirely out of the
image-making, makefile process. The catch here is that when a fix to an
official subfile is received, the dependency files of the superfiles need to
be updated. Good thing the logic to catch this is already in the PT scripts.

No. I don't even want to build images of official files.

Not really, except for the processing time involved.

| (...) According to Google it seems to be possible: (URL) will check it out. (...) If you can tell which files were deleted, then make _can_ remove them (`zip -doT archive.zip deleted files`). Jacob (22 years ago, 19-May-02, to lugnet.cad)
