[Freeciv-Dev] Re: Cleanup of files of the root dir

[Petr Baudis <pasky@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear diary, on Tue, Apr 09, 2002 at 04:28:04PM CEST, I got a letter,
where Raimar Falke <hawk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> told me, that...

Can't we silently drop the "README." prefix, then?

>  mv INSTALL.debian doc

Add a reference to INSTALL.

>  mv HOWTOPLAY doc
>  mv TODO doc

Fine.

>  mv freeciv_hackers_guide.txt doc/hackers_guide.txt

I absolutely hate that name. HACKING is much more common, IMHO. And it better
fits to the doc/ dir between other similiarily named files.

>  rm AUTHORS
>  mv PEOPLE AUTHORS

I vote for AUTHORS. We don't have to be *so* accurate all the time, and in GNU
project, everyone who contributes somehow participates on the authorship anyway,
IMHO..

> I would also like to move build.debian away. A new "scripts" dir? 

Frequently such dir is called contrib/. Inside scripts/, I'd rather expect some
scripts for civserver and civclient (when we'll have scripting support in
2020).

> Where also "civ" and "ser" can go?

No opinion.
