I'd like it better if Mac users stopped obnixiously including __MACOSX directories and files, which conflict when extracting, in their zip archives.

In seriousness, I'll just leave this here:<a href="http://www.chrisnovoa.com/os-x-lion-ds_store-disabling/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chrisnovoa.com/os-x-lion-ds_store-disabling/</a>

Or you could just do<pre><code> find -type d -exec touch {}/.DS_Store \;</code></pre>

Do real .ds_store files have this inside?<a href="https://github.com/emre/macster/blob/master/macster/__main__.py" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/emre/macster/blob/master/macster/__main__...</a>

He has one in the macster/ path but not in the root repo... I thought Finder put them everywhere...

There needs to be files named ._README.md, ._setup.py, and ._tests.py to complete the package.

Why would you want this if you are not on a Mac? The only point in the files is telling Finder how to lay out the folder's contents. Some people (like me) go out of the way to hide them.

As a windows user, I refer to these things as "mac turds" when I see them on network shares.

Bravo. I love seeing those files and the __MACOSX folder in zips. Especially when it's a (relatively) big open source project. I just chuckle, I've owned several Macs, they're a parasite.

He forgot to put .DS_Store files in his .gitignore.
