Alsa snapshot directory layout changed

Alsa snapshot directory layout changed

[David Henningsson]

I have a script that picks daily snapshots from 
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz
...and I just noticed that the directory layout has changed, so what was 
"alsa-driver" is now "alsa-driver/alsa".

Is this expected, i e, should I update my script to follow this new 
layout, or was it a mistake?

It's no mistake, done intentionally so.
But I'm going to change the script to create a tarball without alsa/
subdirectory later.  But right now no time.

As a workaround, just put a line like below in your script.

	test -d alsa && cd alsa

I would like to keep the structure same in GIT repo and tarball for the
patch processing.

Perhaps a README in the root directory with this information may be
sufficient.

Keeping the same structure as a git repo is certainly a merit, but do
we really need it?  Basically all necessary stuff is found in alsa
directory, I though.  Any other missing pieces in the root directory?

Maybe.  It's no big matter, so I already changed the tarball in that
way :)  But changing back (i.e. creating a tarball from alsa
directory) shouldn't be hard, too...
