svg is only text, so perfect for versioning tools :-)
Yet another reason svg is really important for the branding- package, and why I think branding- is best left in git
If we move to something like ownCloud for artwork, I'd expect to use all of its features for versioning/file restoration, etc to give us as much of that capability as possible, while retaining an ease of use and lower technical barrier for our artists that GitHub doesn't doesn't have
I haven't seen svn mentioned in this thread. Did anyone consider it? The way it works makes it more suitable also for binary files. It's mature and easy to use for non geeks. It's even possible to mount svn repos via webdav, hiding even more the versioning system behind it without losing it's benefits. Since svn is on SLES there might even be a chance to convince the opensuse sysadmins to allow someone to host the repo on opensuse infrastructure.

I don't believe svn is really more efficient than git. I've projects in both worlds with big binary du -sh geojb 37G geojb du -sh geojb/.svn 19G .svn More you have commit on binaries, more the effect is disastrous with svn. Compared to git du -sh artwork/ 14G artwork/ du -sh artwork/.git 6.0G artwork/.git git has also the big advantage (even if it's pretty much nothing on binary, but not on svg) to compress the data before network transit. Otherwise, any well integrated version control with openSUSE will do the job. -- Bruno Friedmann openSUSE Member GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
