These repositories have now been merged, as we discussed. avraw (av11n)
has been merged into raw (main) and the atticraw (the attic repository)
has the prior version of each module that was overwritten.
The av repositories themselves have been emptied, but left in place.
masterRepoList.conf has been updated to reflect the removal of these
repositories.

This sounds more or less fine. I'll leave the av repositories on the

before.
I'm not terribly sympathetic towards front ends that can't fail
gracefully when a network resource is unavailable. Non-local resources
are unavailable often, and that's something that should be planned for.
We remove modules from repositories often (either to pull them entirely
or to move them to another repository) and provide an updated
mods.tar.gz; we should likewise be able to remove repositories and
simply provide an updated masterRepoList.conf. I see providing a
coherent masterRepoList.conf pointing to a set of existing repositories
pointing to existing modules as the extent of our responsibility. That
is all to say that if you have a stale cache, you should update or fail
gracefully.
ZIPs for the main repository aren't generated automatically by us. But
since this repository is linked from the website, they are inevitably
generated soon after a module update because users or crawlers download
them thorugh the intended interface (the webpage). (So technically no,
but effectively yes, though there's still a small window in which a user
grabbing from rawzip can get an old version of the module because the
.conf is more recent than the zip contents.)

Will the migration be done in such a way that front ends with a cached
mods.d.tar.gz will not generate errors? So something like:
1. remove modules from avraw mods.tar.gz
2. add modules to raw mods.tar.gz
3. copy modules from avraw folders to raw folders
4. a month or so later remove modules from avraw
5. later after front ends have removed references to avraw folders
remove avraw folders and avraw/mods.tar.gz
Regarding (5) can avpackages/rawzip and avraw/mods.tar.gz be left in
place for a while, even when empty, otherwise JSword apps (I don't know
about Sword apps) which reference these may throw errors.
Are zip files automatically generated in packages/rawzip - I have never
noticed any missing zips there like I have in avpackages/rawzip?

LOL. It's nice to see such a level of consensus. :)
I'll wait until at least Sunday 11/2 to act, just in case anyone has
a good argument against merger.

our users
ought to need to worry about. It just brings confusion.
