Hi,
I'm trying to convince people to put all our git repos in one place (move people who are still on gitorious to github) and I run accross art repository[1]. Is there still something valuable/needed or is everything moved already to github?
In the later case, I would like to propose to delete this repository...
Apart from that I noticed that artwork repo is quite huge... Have you ever thought about splitting it? We can split it into submodules and put some simple usage script in so you could still clone everything but you could also clone only parts of it and save some space. All that while keeping history.
What do you think about that?
I already moved branding out of it for that reason.
Greetings, Stephan
Hmm, splitting isn't a half bad idea. My personal opinion is that GitHub isn't the best tool for many of our artists contributing to openSUSE, especially when we often need to share drafts (like we're going to need to do for the next release, which I think is gonna need a nice art refresh :)) GitHub's preference for 'small(er)' file sizes can be quite a hindrance, plus git doesn't necessarily come naturally to those contributors who don't also commit code I've looked around for a solution, and I'd like to trial using an ownCloud instance - I think it will do the job quite nicely, and the combination of both a 'sync' client, 'live access' clients (any WebDAV client) and the web interface should make it possible for see and contribute stuff to what is currently in the GitHub artwork repo (where features like code review aren't needed) What does everyone think about this? If its popular with the team, I'll pull a finger out and speak to someone from the infrastructure team about the viability Of course, I think it should go without saying that I think -branding should stay as it is, where it is, in GitHub In short * Yes, delete gitorious/artwork unless someone else screams they're still using it * Splitting further sounds like a great idea, but I'd like to consider a more 'artist appropriate' tool like ownCloud first * Whatever we decide to do for artwork, lets leave branding where it is.
