let's not port backup stuff ...

Unfortunately, without that FONLLdis is not working out of the box. If you wish you can find another solution (maybe it is really simple, but I have no time at the moment).

The moment we have a solution, we can also remove from history, and keep the repo free of that junk, however:

drwxrwxr-x    - alessandro  4 ott 17:04 packages/.backup
.rw-rw-r-- 1,9M alessandro  4 ott 17:04 ├── FONLLdis.tar.gz
.rw-rw-r--  316 alessandro  4 ott 17:04 ├── update.sh
.rw-rw-r--  17k alessandro  4 ott 17:04 └── xspace-bench.tar.gz

So, for xspace-bench is really negligible, and FONLLdis has the size of a picture, and not going to increase. Everything else I removed, as you can see.
For me would be much nicer (since cleaner) to remove it, but it's definitely not worth my effort, given limited resources.

P.S.: all the weight in FONLLdis.tar.gz seems to come from the toy grids, that are shipped also separately... there is definitely some duplication

[felixhekhorn]

I perfectly agree - I wasn't aware it is actually used ... keep it (maybe rename it?)

[alecandido]

Do what you prefer. I don't really have a better name :)

legacy? (without any leading .)

Not really, there is nothing legacy: that is the actual FONLLdis, and not going to change...

local_codes?

Still prefer .backup. It is a back-up of the code...

They are not. That's what me confused in the first place - they are the one and only source of truth. external? Or at least remove the leading . or else I give up

[alecandido]

Nope, it's a dirty trick. The source of truth is NNPDF/external.

And I would use that one, but it is a private repo, and it might cause issues in many situations. That's why I needed a .backup.
(and I like the . because it is a dirty trick, and I want to keep hidden as much as possible, such that no one will abuse of it)

Just to explain: it is a dirty trick because I decided not to host the code, as a general principle, in order not to duplicate and have to maintain the copy (as it was before). Here I'm giving up, because practicality beats purity.
