As ive already mentioned there are currently (within Runtime at least) a large number of _.cs files that are not included in any csproj files. These files seem to implement classes that already exist within System._ dll’s. There also seem to be some _Build_csproj files. Are these maintained? If not, we should clean them up as well. Are we able to clean up all those redundant files please. I will provide a patch during the weekend for it but currently im only looking at DLR (that the patch will only cover Runtime/\*) Could we also introduce a policy that in future if we remove a file from a project it also gets deleted (assuming you are removing it from all projects). Thanks Alistair. ---

Yes, we shouldn’t have any .cs files that are not included in any .csproj. I would be surprised if there were too many of them but there might be some. Feel free to send a patch that deletes them. Microsoft.Scripting.Core directory includes DLR v1.0 that shipped in .NET 4.0 in System.Core. We still need these for Windows Phone 7 builds though (Silverlight3 configuration). I removed \*.build.csproj files last week. I don’t see any now: [https://github.com/ironruby/ironruby/tree/master/Runtime/Microsoft.Scripting/](https://github.com/ironruby/ironruby/tree/master/Runtime/Microsoft.Scripting/) Did you sync to the latest version of the repo?

> g/ > > Did you sync to the latest version of the repo? Ah sorry. Must have seem them a while ago and didn’t realise they had been removed 🙂 So… Question 1: Microsoft.Scripting.Core.csproj contains a “reference” () to System.Linq.Expressions.txt which is not located within the repository. Im assuming this is safe to remove? > From csproj Ast\System.Linq.Expressions.txt im sure more questions will follow… Thanks Alistair ---

Feel free to send a patch that deletes them. see here [https://github.com/alistair/ironruby/tree/cleanup](https://github.com/alistair/ironruby/tree/cleanup) the cleanup commit directly [https://github.com/alistair/ironruby/commit/7ea7f14c6f91e22ca3ee4a608499b7dfd5523c28](https://github.com/alistair/ironruby/commit/7ea7f14c6f91e22ca3ee4a608499b7dfd5523c28) > So… > > Question 1: Microsoft.Scripting.Core.csproj contains a “reference” > () to System.Linq.Expressions.txt which is not located within the > repository. Im assuming this is safe to remove? I assumed this was to be removed and have committed it into the above branch. [1] I also added build.sh files within that branch that just document the xbuild commands I used to test compile. That commit can be safely ignored (and probably should be). I only tested the Runtime directory projects and only with Debug config. But im pretty confident it shouldn’t have broken the Silverlight builds.
