[Feature request] Downloading and OS-specific archives

[davidhedlund]

The command wget -q https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig/zipball/master/ -O master.zip downloads all directories, including those not needed by the specific operating system performing the download.

For GNU/Linux, an archive containing only the latest versions of the following directories would be beneficial:

• linuxraw
• parport
• sdl2
• udev

these files are very small. I don't think the benefits would outweigh the additional maintenance burden.

In free systems like Trisquel GNU/Linux (a Free Sofware Foundation approved distro), it's unusual to encounter directories dedicated to proprietary drivers.

• Exclude "x" and "hid" autoconfig sub-directories hizzlekizzle/RetroArch-AppImage#15
• Remove android, dinput, hid, mfi, qnx, x, xinput from the autoconfig directory flathub/org.libretro.RetroArch#304

Thank you for your feedback.
