Hi Dirk,

Can you please drop these old files from the repository.

They will show up on QA queries on Debian Code Search.

(maybe I'm not good enough at crafting the right regexp query too)

https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=cdbs+-path%3Adebian%2Fchangelog+path%3Adebian%2F&literal=1&perpkg=1&page=8

Greetings

Alexandre

Hm, what is this supposed to reveal? The search returns 14 pages.  What do
want me to look at here?

Is the bug maybe your assumption every file below debian/ is used in package
building? The files are clearly marked: they sit in a directory old/ and
carry a YYYYMMDD timestamp.

I may add a .gitgnore and and git rm when I get around to ot.

Best, Dirk

That is not my assumption.
Yeah this is obvious to a human, but not to a dumb script of mine.

I really don't know how to write the right query
to only get the one real ^debian/rules$  :-(

This dumb script relies on debian-codesearch-cli and I would
feel really bad to push bad code in this awesome tool.

I could hack codesearch-cli to do some post processing
and discard unwanted results; Federico can you help me maybe ?
