Cleaning up from previous installations

[joho]

I've been using S9Y for quite some time now, and always installed upgrades into the same directory. This has worked pretty good for a long time.

Today, I went to upgrade to 1.0 and it too went smoothly. But I noticed that in another installation, where I have not kept upgrading on top of old installations for as long, there was a lot less files (PHP mainly).

So I went back to my blog installation and found files from 2004 (!)..

Could we have a shell script or something that, when run from the S9Y "root", lists files and directories it does NOT know about?

Hi!

For the switch to Serendipity 0.8, many files got changed or removed. A complete list of those files can be found in the docs/CHANGED_FILES file. You can remove those files listed there as obsolete.

Usually s9y deleted those files if it had write privileges on the 0.8 upgrade; but it seems you didn't have those. Coding a shell script like yours could easily harm installations where people put customized content into it. I'd rather not create such a hazardous script.

Best regards,
