@strogonoff this directory is the Relaton cache. It is generated but the cache makes the build faster.
Source version control isn’t really appropriate for caching purposes, I’d prefer that this was stored on S3 for example.

@strogonoff technically this cache can be placed on Travis, perhaps you have an easy way of setting it up. We won't put it on S3 because it will mean prior to build a pull from S3 has to happen.
There are legitimate uses of committing cache to source control too, for example automake and CMake files. I do agree with keeping source clean, but sometimes it's a compromise between environment restrictions and ease of execution...

That’s OK, but auto-generated things that we can expect to be changing will pollute commit history. I don’t think automake falls under that category.
The build process seems to take care of this directory, so it’s unclear why it is under version control: https://github.com/ISO-TC211/geolexica.org/tree/master/db/iso
