[WWdevel] Duplicate problem libraries in CVS

[Arnold P. <arn...@gm...>]

Hi,

Currently we have duplicates of most libraries, e.g.
devel ...lock/cvs/database_problems/Rochester/
and
devel ...lock/cvs/rochester_problib/

I think this will soon lead to difficulties (e.g. when fixing buggy
problems and adding new ones).  One solution would be to only use the
libraries under database_problems and to close off the other libraries
in such a way that one gets a message that they have bben moved if one
tries to access them.  This would involve updating the CVS
documentation. E.g. basically one would have to download
database_problems to get any of the libraries but that is probably
what most people will do anyway.  It would also mean that places using
e.g. rochester_problib will have to change the path to this library in
global.conf but that's a pretty easy change.

Here are a few questions for John.  I did a diff -r Rochester
../rochester_problib/ (results below) and at this point everything is
identical except for one missing problem
(../rochester_problib/setTrig05Graphs: c5s3p1_9) and a number of
missing directories.  If we go with my solution above, we should add
all the missing directories. John, is there a reason you didn't copy
these? I haven't looked in email or macros but the others are things
that we should keep.  Did you copy everything from the other
libraries?

I think we should make a decision on how to proceed with this soon
before these libraries start diverging (e.g. I want to fix a few
Rochester problems but will hold off until this is settled).

Any ideas or comments?

Here's the result of the diff:
