grass-addons/grass6/raster
Log:
test to see how well trac deals with symlinks. should appear in unix as a symlink, on MS Windows as a regular file
I think that it would be better just to move such dirs to `grass6`. It
would require to update URL in g.extension and GRASS Addons Wiki page.
No big problem. The major advantage would much more clean grass-addons
repo with root directories for grass5, grass6 and grass7, tools, etc.
Such symlinks just makes this repo more messy.

dirs to `grass6`.
After reviewing this experiment I'm thinking the
same thing.
And that we should do it before releasing 6.4.2
with its (hopefully) working-for-everyone release
of g.extension.[*]
It would require to update URL in g.extension and
GRASS Addons Wiki page.
(and web search for others, but the new spot is
logical enough to make discovery easy for any we
miss)

yup.
Such symlinks just makes this repo more messy.
just exploring the idea to see how it showed up
in trac: Symlinks show up in trac just as they
would on Winodws AFAIU, just a 1 line text file
which says "link ../raster". So it does not help
with web redirects to the old trac browser or
'svn checkout|export' location.
[*] also before releasing 6.4.2 and locking in
problems, I would like to clean out the install
cruft in the addons dir. quoted from trac #1501:
"with an empty (or non-existent) addons dir could you try editing line 412 of grass 6.5's g.extension to be [ 0 -eq 1 ] and installing a few addon modules? After seeing it I hope you agree it is a much cleaner way to organize things. If there is a technical reason not to clean that up I'd still like to hear what it is, as I know of none."
