<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Aurelien Bompard at 19/09/10 12:52 did gyre and gimble:
>><i> * Binary churn: If we add the tarballs, there can be a lot of binary
</I>>><i> churn. Cloning a git repo means we get the full history locally which
</I>>><i> means all copies of the tarball over the x years period. SVN is better
</I>>><i> suited to binary churn, only keeping the most recent version in your
</I>>><i> checkout. This is likely discussed above.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> In Fedora, the tarballs are kept on a separate server, and a "sources" file
</I>><i> with SHA1 sums is included in the git repo. The "fedpkg" tool can upload
</I>><i> tarballs to the cache.
</I>
Perfect.
>><i> * Tagging: When a release is done, the packages need to be tagged. This
</I>>><i> is more awkward with individual repos rather than one central one, but I
</I>>><i> suspect it's a relatively easy process to script.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> AFAIK, there's no global tagging for a release in Fedora.
</I>
That's certainly one way to solve that problem :p
Cheers
