Unofficial Arcscripts Archive

Home: https://github.com/envygeo/arcscripts_archive

a) listing of content published to Esri ArcScripts before it went offline, and
b) restored copies of said content - when and if found

The index csv is sourced from a post from Jim Barry in the thread Please restore ArcScripts on GeoNet. For convenience it's also in xls, but the csv remains definitive record (for version control).

Contributing Guidelines

Draft

Fork the project and issue a pull request.

Include a Readme with a short description of how you retrieved the package (e.g. downloaded from web archive, from your personal cache, asked So-n-so, ...).

Please look for and indicate if the ArcScript has a newer version on https://codesharing.arcgis.com/.

Method

• Extract zip to ./data/AS9999

• Create ./data/AS9999/_Readme.txt

  • insert header metadata on source and retrieval date:

Example: data/AS15287

The underscore _ preface is prevent collision with a zipfile's Readme. If the zipfile readme has same name rename that one, not ours.

Binary files

We're using Git Large File Storage extension. Please install it, check if the file types you add are already tracked in .gitattributes.txt. If not add them with an incantation like git lfs track *.shp.

License

The MIT license chosen is for the overall project (index, meta information, workflows, update scripts, etc.). Each script could have it's own license, underneath the license Esri used when the original collection was compiled.
