Hi Viktor,
After much experimenting with all kinds of strategies to organizing dirs and
source layouts, i've come to set out for approaches that seem to stand out
from common logic, which makes me wonder about what you refer to as 'best
practices', where they come from and what exactly they are; although these
are mostly 'unwritten' there must be good reasons why they turned out as
they are; seems like i was never properly 'initiated', or lost track of
those, the danger when one starts wondering about them in the first place
;-) This legal stuff placement in the sources is not so much of my concern
in this, but, since you mentioned it, the way a repository is organized is
sth for my own project (apart from harbour) to deal with in a slightly
different way (but yet to be proven manageable; reasons why in an
alternative manner are both technically compelling, and logically (meaning
logistically here) appealing).
So, arrived full-circle, i have come to look at things, not taking them for
granted, hence why i bothered.
kind regards,
frank

Hi Frank,
Well, no, not for the contribs anyway, I just went
there for other reasons, noticed this and moved it
to the top, since all the rest of contribs have
it at the top, and this particular contrib is not
actively updated anymore by the author, that's all.
If you have your "own" contrib in Harbour, you
can have it as you like.
By definition contribs are private areas,
there are just some (unwritten) "best practices" to
use there, like the placement of /tests, some general
layout of the tree, make files, lib naming, namepace
issues, etc. If these are followed, the better (since
it's easier to get along for a user knowing some
other contribs already, plus some things may be
expected automatically), but again _nothing is obligatory_.
Brgds,
Viktor

* contrib/hbbtree/tests/test.prg
* contrib/hbbtree/tests/ttest.prg
* License moved to top of the files.
for my own project license etc is planned to figure at the bottom of
the files; is it a general requirement that they are listed at the
top?
