I liked (Donn's?) suggestion of modifying "make install" to do cleaning like this.

Earlier today, I refactored the certstore parcel to load data directly from the original .pem data file, rather than by parsing the data from a parcel.xml file. In the process, I intentionally removed the 'data' subpackage, replacing it with a 'data.py' module.

Unfortunately, subversion does not remove non-empty directories of checkouts when a directory is deleted, and then it forgets that the directory was ever under revision control. And, since the .pyc and .pyo files in the data/ directory were not under revision control, they do not get deleted. Thus, you will need to make sure that you delete this directory from your checkout, or you will experience test failures.

This is a general problem with deleting or moving packages, by the way, and not something specific to the changes I made. Discussion on IRC suggests that our ongoing policy should be to notify the dev list when deleting directories, to give others a chance to make sure that they can clean up the affected directories on their machines.

Just as a heads up, I expect this to happen with more directories this week, as I flatten the osaf.contentmodel hierarchy; I will post here again with specifics before I check in such deletions.
