Two --from-md5 runs with different hash lists wrote the same file, the
second replacing the first, and a pack limited to thirty systems built
a name longer than a file name may be. The custom pack now carries a
digest of its hash list, and a long system list keeps its first system,
a count and a digest, as the emulator pack does.
hypseus-singe asks for gamecontrollerdb.txt by name alone and, first
in profile order, took the BIOS root of Batocera, RetroBat and
RetroPie with C-Dogs' small table while Solarus pins its own by sha1.
A destination two cores claim now goes to the one naming its content.
lrps2 names no hash for its GameIndex.yaml, and the only full-tail
copy was ARMSX2's: it counted as path proof and replaced the file
RetroArch pins on desktop targets, which have no ARMSX2. Upstream
PCSX2 took ARMSX2's patches.zip by name the same way. A copy in
another emulator's tree now proves nothing at any tail length, and
LRPS2's own GameIndex comes from the tree the buildbot publishes.
Step 2 refreshed the data directories, then the pack build and the
manifest build refreshed them again, so a tree tracking a moving
branch could differ between the pack and the manifest. generate_pack
gains --no-refresh-data, which packs the cached trees and still
fetches release assets; the online pipeline passes it to both builds.
The RetroArch and Lakka pack was built under RetroArch's own name and
renamed afterwards, which overwrote then carried away a --platform
retroarch pack in the same directory, and failed on Windows where
os.rename refuses an existing target.
--system snes joined 23 emulator names into the ZIP name and died
with ENAMETOOLONG before writing anything. The system pack now passes
its own name in, and an --emulator selection too long to join keeps
its first name, a count and a digest of the selection.
