What are the .yii files created?

Yii 1.1 Installation and Setup

Just took Yii for a testdrive and wanted to see what files were generated.

Took a look in this:


testdrive\themes\classic\views\site

What are all those .yii files in the directories? They don’t have anything in them and are zero-length.

Do they do anything, or are they used by the Yii somehow?

You can safely delete them. IIRC they are there to keep the directories from being deleted (in SVN?).

So the .yii files are pretty much stub files then?
