Perl simfactory has redundant ini files

Issue #378 closed
Ian Hinder created an issue

As far as I know, the Perl version of SimFactory does not use the .ini file format. However, there are several files around in the repository which make it look like it does:

MacBook:simfactory ian$ find . -name "*.ini" ./cdb.ini ./mdb/abe.ini ./mdb/ac.ini ./mdb/bp.ini ./udb.example.ini

as well as an "inifiles" directory. This is confusing as when you first check it out, you don't know which files to customise.

I propose that these files be removed.

    Those files were part of early experiments that have long since moved to a branch. Yes, please remove these.

    There is also an "adcirc" directory. I understand that this has also moved to a branch. Can I remove this directory as well?

    I don't know whether the adcirc directory is in a branch; if such a branch exists, please remove the files; if not, it should probably be created.

    I have deleted the ini files.

    The following branches exist:

    ET_2010_06 ET_2010_11 PYSIM_2010 PYSIM_ADCIRC PYSIM_DEV

    Since this version of simfactory will hopefully be phased out by the next release of the ET, it's probably not worth adjusting the branch structure for adcirc.
