Cloning a git repo means we get the full history locally which +means all copies of the tarball over the x years period. SVN is better +suited to binary churn, only keeping the most recent version in your +checkout. This is likely discussed above. + + * Tagging: When a release is done, the packages need to be tagged. This +is more awkward with individual repos rather than one central one, but I +suspect it's a relatively easy process to script. + +(I do hope these are mentioned in the above links) + +Anyway, as a general rule, I'm very much behind using git for packages :) + + +Col +-- + +Colin Guthrie +mageia(at)colin.guthr.ie +<A HREF="http://colin.guthr.ie/">http://colin.guthr.ie/</A> + +Day Job: + Tribalogic Limited [<A HREF="http://www.tribalogic.net/">http://www.tribalogic.net/</A>] +Open Source: + Mageia Contributor [<A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/">http://www.mageia.org/</A>] + PulseAudio Hacker [<A HREF="http://www.pulseaudio.org/">http://www.pulseaudio.org/</A>] + Trac Hacker [<A HREF="http://trac.edgewall.org/">http://trac.edgewall.org/</A>] +</PRE> + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000764.html">[Mageia-dev] Distributed packaging for a community distro +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000770.html">[Mageia-dev] Distributed packaging for a community distro +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#768">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#768">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#768">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#768">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
