A file that arrives with the emulator is already on the user's machine
and the packs leave it out. 4558 collected copies (1.4 GB) were reached
only by such entries, with no platform, other profile entry or install
manifest needing them. They are removed, and two release-asset copies
leave the ignore list. bundled_only.py now lists every copy of a listed
file, since the database keeps one path per content, and pipeline step
4d fails while one remains.
Three refs cited paths under Q3E/src/main/jni that the repository does
not carry: xash3d-fwgs and SeriousSamClassic are git submodules, so the
parent tree holds pointers and nothing else. They read as the separate
repositories they are, which is what the external form is for.
Reading the last two changed blocks turned up the substance.
ETQW_GLSL_SHADER_VERSION went from .3 to .6, and the bundled
zzz_etqwbase.pk4 grew from 136061 to 141815 bytes: the size, md5 and
sha1 the profile recorded describe the pack that was replaced. The new
one is in, the old one kept as a variant for builds that still expect
it, and GameResourceUrl gained two Quake 4 mod entries along the way.
70 refs, 68 anchored and 2 external, none left to read.
dedup.py removes a copy only when another file has the same SHA-1 and
the same name, keeping the higher-priority path, so resolution by hash
still finds the content. Verified rather than assumed: all 17268
manifest entries ship the same bytes as before, no destination gained
or lost, only the source paths consolidate. Every deleted path's content
is still held elsewhere.
12.1 MB and 48 empty directories go with them. The index and the
published artefacts are regenerated on top.
