.hydra is a symlink to an absolute path on one developer's machine:

openregister/.hydra -> /home/rubenlinde/nextcloud-docker-dev/workspace/server/apps-extra/hydra

It is tracked (mode 120000) and therefore packaged into every release. Any extractor that guards against path traversal refuses the whole archive as a result, so installing OpenRegister through the App Versions app fails with Out-of-path file extraction and nothing is installed. tar tzf and GNU tar are perfectly happy with it, which is why this only shows up at install time.

It was never meant to be committed. It arrived on 2026-07-05 in 4e01030f3, a commit titled "chore: preserve WIP before development sync" — a bulk sweep of the working directory. It was later added to .gitignore, but .gitignore does not untrack an already-tracked file, so it stayed.

Untracking it here. Anyone who wants the symlink locally still gets it: it remains ignored, so it will not come back.

ConductionNL/.github#197 additionally excludes .hydra from all three release workflows, so no app can ship one by accident.

(Checked opencatalogi too — its .hydra is a submodule gitlink with no working-tree content, so its archives are clean.)
