Removal of sandboxed versions?

Should the commons.sandbox.cli be removed from cvs?
Also logging, betwixt, digester, others I missed?

Is the plan to just empty the sandboxed version and leave a structure?
When we move something from sandbox to commons, do we move and tweak the
cvs repository, thus keeping a valid history, or do we import a new one?

If importing a new one, do we care about the old history?

Haven't seen a move yet, but it would be the best, so people cannot get
confused with the old sandbox stuff..

The betwixt move was done by recommitting it in cvs, so no history
there, but as far as I am concerned we can zap that one.

So I prefer a copy, if that is allowed that is..

Doing cvs delete on all the files of moved packages is always a good idea.
When you update your local sandbox, do "cvs update -dP" and you won't have
those obsolete projects.

IMHO, physically pruning the directories out of /home/cvs is almost always
a really bad idea, because you lose the ability to ever restore the
complete state of the repository as of a fixed date or tag.  You can make
a case that nobody should have ever done this for sandbox directories
anyway, but pruning is a bad habit to get into.

Saw a lot of cvs commits coming by for creation of directories when
betwixt was moved, so it wasn't copied over on /home/cvs...

No - we just copied the code over to commons rather than moving the RCS
files.

I think logging still contains source files in the sandbox.

+1 on zapping useless structures.  We've preserved the revision history
during the migration?

Both betwixt and cli moved to commons and the sandbox copies were deleted;
but the structure remained, which is normal CVS stuff. Maybe we could zap
the RCS files to permanently remove the structure from the sandbox?

There's a bunch of old structures still around we could zap: betwixt, cli,
digester, latka, logging, modeler.

I'd say yes.  I've personally been bitten by looking in the sandbox for
code, and only realizing that I wasn't using the latest much later, after
looking in the non-sandbox commons.
