buildsuite: create more special files

I'm disinclined to be hard-coding filenames except for specific purposes. Currently we do this to test the representation of files with various attributes; but for the rest, there's already a loop to generate files from the file LS_COLORS. So why don't we just add these there?

[blueyed]

Which loop?
There is one for extensions only.
We could have the same for filenames, but then duplicates (with the same attributes) should be skipped probably.

Starts on line 118.

Ah, missed the part where it created the files (https://github.com/trapd00r/LS_COLORS/pull/48/files#diff-bcff1978c9626f0cdd3b6949935d365dL125).

[blueyed]

What do you think about naming them e.g. README instead of test.README?
And then move them one dir up (into the root)?

[rpdelaney]

It will touch test.extension if and only if the file type starts with a dot .. Otherwise, it will simply touch extension. Therefore "README" should get generated correctly.

I admit that I could have done a better job commenting this script.

[blueyed]

It will replace the * with e.g. README with a .:

line="${line//\*/.}"
if [[ "${line:0:1}" == "." ]]; then

Therefore it creates test.README.

[rpdelaney]

You're right. I'll see if I can improve that.
