Walking the systems sorted reordered the declarations doubled.py
reports from, so the export report named the CoCo reader first. The
declarations keep the platform's order again, and the packed file is
picked from the sorted walk the builder makes.
A search for gba_bios.bin or scph5500.bin landed on a page described as
"It reads 4 files, none of them required". The snippet now names the
console and the files, required first, in the longest form that fits.
A data archive cut mid-download was deleted on every failure: the retry and the next run started from zero, while the run said nothing was lost. The archive is now kept beside its tree with the validator its server sent, and the rest is asked for with Range and If-Range. Checked against the release: fbneo-samples stopped at 16 MB, the next run downloaded 34.6 MB of 50.5.
Every change to install.py meant a sha256sum pasted by hand into
install.sh and install.ps1, and the tests that caught a stale pin
failed on two bare hashes. scripts/pin_installer.py writes both pins
(--check only reports), the pin tests name it, check_freshness reads
the pins through it and refresh_stale runs it for a stale pin row.
A tarball tree was announced at its extracted size: yaps2 at 6.5 MB for a 21.2 MB download, Cemu's game profiles at 9.9 KB for 21.4 MB. refresh_data_dirs records the size of each archive it downloads (a tree current from before is measured, not refetched), the install lists carry it as archive_size, and the plan, the menu and the data event count it.
A card's BIOS folder zipped to upload it was hashed as one file and
reported not recognised, its contributor asked where the dump came from
and told to place it under bios/. A ZIP no list or profile declares as a
whole is now read member by member: each is named held, declared and not
held, or not recognised, and the contributor is asked for the files
unzipped. A declared archive (a MAME or FBNeo set) is never opened.
render padded the local value but not the remote one, so in an area
where some rows carry a remote value their detail started fifteen
columns later than the rows without one. The remote value is padded to
its column, and a row without one leaves the same blank span.
check_freshness gained a romfolders area and refresh_stale did not:
its rows were dropped from a saved report without a word, and --only
romfolders was refused. A rom-folder pin is moved by hand, so the area
is listed for a human, a test holds the two area lists equal, and the
--only help names every area.
--dry-run printed its text plan and returned before --json was read,
so a caller parsing the output as JSON failed. With both flags the plan
is printed as JSON: planned jobs with their commands and follow-ups,
the rows left to a human, and the count ignored.
A collision line named two files and neither the system declaring each
nor the one the pack ships, so the reader went back to the platform
file. find_collisions walks the systems in the builder's sorted order,
takes the builder's preferred declaration, and the line and the JSON
now name each system and the file packed. RetroDECK's bios/disk.rom
reads as the CoCo ROM packed, the PC-88 one left out, as its manifest
holds.
The JSON report put "outcome": "new" on every file without another
outcome, so a path that does not exist, or a file that failed a check,
was listed as a new contribution. A failed file now reads "failed".
artifact_lock created its directory even for a shared reader, so a
mistyped path given to --verify-packs or release_record was left as a
directory holding a .lock, and split_pack created the parent before
printing a bare errno. A reader now raises ArtifactDirectoryMissing,
which run_cli prints on one line, and split_pack checks its target
before taking the lock.
A refresh blocked on a data directory lock printed only that another
run held it, then waited with no limit. The line now names the lock
file and the lsof command that shows its holder, and for a refresh,
the generate_pack --no-refresh-data and --offline runs that read the
cache without waiting.
The manifest guard compared repo_path with database.json only, so a
git mv under bios/ committed without regenerating either left both
naming the old path and every test passed. A new test requires each
database path to be tracked or gitignored, and a manifest entry whose
repo_path git neither holds nor ignores now fails as untracked.
264 TemporaryDirectory() and mkdtemp() calls without dir= wrote to the
/tmp tmpfs, and a full tmpfs failed modules no change touched. The test
package now points tempfile and TMPDIR at tmp/tests, and sets
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES there so git run in a scratch directory does
not find the checkout above it. The package test asserts both.
RetroPie, ROCKNIX, AmberELEC, EmuELEC and RomM keep their save directory in no fixed place, and their lists leave those files out with no hash or address. The run said to name the folder with --save-dir, and said it again when --save-dir was given. It now says the list holds none of them.
The --dest refusal for a path under a file stopped two fixtures: muOS's MUOS marker was written as a file with the BIOS folder below it, and the folder that cannot be created was a path under a file. The marker is now a folder and that case uses a folder this user cannot write.
Two listing options printed one list, and --list-platforms, --list-targets and --list-emulators printed the same output with --system, --region or --core as without, code 0. A run now prints one list, and an option a listing ignores is refused.
A BIOS folder that is a file, or lies under one, failed at mkdir with EEXIST or ENOTDIR, and the run blamed permissions and offered sudo. It is now refused before anything is checked, with an error event whose reason is not_a_folder.
Without jsonschema the documented command stopped on an ImportError
traceback. Run as a command it now prints the install pipeline.py names
for the same step, with the format-nongpl extra, and exits 1. An import
from the tests still raises ImportError, which they skip on.
The --destinations branch of _main rebound held, the ExitStack that
holds the data directory locks, to the dict it writes. It is now
named destinations, and a test refuses a rebinding of the stack.
Native RetroArch on Linux keeps retroarch.cfg under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/retroarch when the variable is set, and falls back to ~/.retroarch.cfg (file_path_special.c fill_pathname_application_data, configuration.c open_default_config_file at e98e1da0). Detection read ~/.config/retroarch only.
--platform bizhawk --target switch printed skipped, then Done., and
exited 0 with no model written. generate_truth now resolves targets
through build_target_cores_cache, as verify and generate_pack do: a
named platform without the target is refused with exit 1, --all
leaves such platforms out and says so.
_load_sources read a truncated .sources.json as empty: fetch served
the cached original of an older pin as current, the next download
rewrote the index with one entry, and check_freshness said no URL was
recorded. It now raises SourcesIndexUnreadable naming the remedy, and
check_freshness reports one ERROR row for the index.
modified_for_git read the stdout of git status without its exit code:
a corrupt index printed nothing, the working change read as unmodified,
and --apply wrote HEAD's blob over it. Every git call now raises on a
non-zero status, and the command exits 2 naming the git error.
game_dat_importer and arcade_parent_importer each kept an exact-text
copy of write_if_changed, so a redump refresh rewrote every catalog for
its fetched date alone. Both now use artifacts.write_if_changed, which
treats fetched as a timestamp. A No-Intro rebuild still rewrites its
catalogs, since asset_updated_at moves with it, so check_freshness keeps
reading a fetched date no older than the pack.
The target scraper kept its own copy of the EmuScripts table and took
.ps1 files the platform scraper never read, so emudeck-we's template
skeleton was published as a core and removed afterwards by an override.
Both scrapers now read emulator_of_script, and the platform scraper
lists the installers at the pinned revision, as launchers: and the
SteamOS target already did. Targets rescraped, override dropped.
PlatformRecords stripped lr- to compare package records with cores. The scraper now names a libretro package with core_name(), lr-dosbox-pure as dosbox_pure, so the test reads the same function.
The RetroDECK verify excerpt counted 1800 core files in the pack. Companion entries no longer sweep cheats, GameIndex.yaml and DVD firmware to the BIOS root, and the same run prints 1764.
Setup names on 530 emulator pages lowered their weight in the index and
ranked the data page first for batocera folder and retroarch system
folder. The row is left out of the search, as the card's setup lists are.
A Packed line on each file card put the MAME parts, BizHawk, blueMSX,
FBNeo and GroovyMAME over the 10,000 element budget. The Run by row of
the page already names the setups that pack the emulator's files.
files/?sha1= of a file the collection no longer holds answered that no
file the site knows has the hash. generate_db.py now records each sha1 a
rebuild drops in retired.json, with the day and the file in its place,
backfilled from the history since 0d586ef6b (4,139 files). The lookup
answers with it and leads to the successor's card.
libmt32emu scans the ROM folder and identifies every file with identifyROMFile (src/midi/mt32_lasynth_model.cpp:68-91 at fa1856c0), and the Nuked SC-55 plugin loads with RomLoader::Hashing, matching SHA-256 against its table. The 50 MT-32 and Sound Canvas entries now carry found_by: content, so the truth no longer says dosbox-staging opens their labels.
