Changes by: Guillaume Morin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 2002-May-03 19:20 (Europe/Paris) ------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ---------------------------- This is really annoying, look at http://savannah.gnu.org/files/?group_id=443 =================== Bug #150: Full Bug Snapshot =================== Submitted by: gmorin Project: savannah Submitted on: 2002-May-02 13:41 Category: Download area Severity: 3 - Ordinary Priority: Normal Bug Group: None Resolution: None Assigned to: yeupou Status: Open Effort: 0.00 Summary: Files manager relies on kernel implementation Original Submission: The file manager uses {open,read,close} dir to display the files. They are unsorted, that is to say that the order is determined by the filesystem order. That can lead to uncoherent display. I think the files should be associated to some information in the database to at least determine the order. HTH. Guillaume. Follow-up Comments ******************* ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2002-May-03 19:20 By: gmorin This is really annoying, look at http://savannah.gnu.org/files/?group_id=443 ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2002-May-02 14:39 By: gmorin Indeed, the issue is significant only for versions. Sorting alphabetically is not a good fix, because it breaks numbers sorting (e.g see -n option of sort). ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2002-May-02 14:11 By: yeupou In fact, the idea was to avoid changing anything is the way files are already managed. And so, to avoid using database. Frankly, I dont really think that would lead to an really disturbing "uncoherent display". Files are displayed as this package -> version -> file. So, the high risk is to get popol.rpm in the top of popol.tar.gz instead of popol.tar.gz in the top of popol.rpm And it doesnt seem to be really problematic. About versions and packages, it should be classified alphabetically, right. But I dont think it's interesting to do this using database. It can be done by PHP. Using database means that users cant use this feature without using a browser, and personnally I think that's uncool (I dont - and I dont want to - use browser to manage files, and I'm probably not the only one).
