[Question] Redundant .fig and .svg files

[Question] Redundant .fig and .svg files

[Akira Yokosawa]

Hi Paul,

I'm doing another round of build script cleanup.
In the cleanup, I found redundant .fig and .svg files listed below.

    SMPdesign/lockdeq.fig SMPdesign/lockdeq.svg
    cartoons/patterns.fig cartoons/patterns.svg

It seems the .fig files are not used any more.
Do you mind if I remove them from the repository?

                                           Thanks, Akira

This one is used on line 191 of SMPdesign/partexercises.tex.

Ah, this one's purpose is to allow .fig-style patterns to be cut and
pasted into .svg files.

Feel free to remove SMPdesign/lockdeq.fig, but please leave the others.

That said, if you know of a way to get decent shading patterns out of
inkscape, then the two cartoons/patterns files could be dispensed with.

							Thanx, Paul

I see. But I want them to be ignored by wildcards in Makefile.
Would it be acceptable if I make a directory such as 'cartoons/.unused'
and move those files there?

Also, I found that 'appendix/rcuimpl/RCUpreemptCounters.fig'
and 'appendix/rcuimple/RCUpreemptCounters.eps' are in the repository
but are not used in any .tex sources. Would it be OK to do the same
for them?

Well, I'm afraid I can't help you here.

BTW, I'd like to explain my intention of this round of cleanup.

My goal this time is to make it possible to use -jN option of 'make'
in building just after cloning the repository (or after doing
'make neatfreak').

To achieve this, those rules written in scripts under the 'utilities'
directory need to be promoted into Makefile. In doing so, I want to use
wildcards in Makefile. 

In trying this approach, I noticed there are a few figures that are not
used anywhere. So I asked the first question of this thread.

Are you interested in this kind of build script restructuring?
Or am I trying too much?
