Description

Every time we upload slides to our main Git repo, the checkout grows by almost a MiB. This is unsustainable.

Let’s move wiki/src/promote/ to a dedicated Git repo. We could use the “underlay” plugin of ikiwiki to combine both Git repos to have them compiled as part a single website by ikiwiki.

History

#1 Updated by sajolida 2015-01-31 10:22:23

In the way we name and advertise this repo, shall we make it explicit that it is for slide and promotional material? or shall we rather create a more generic tool for offloading heavy files from our main repo?

#2 Updated by intrigeri 2015-02-01 08:57:05

I think we should move wiki/src/promote entirely into there, actually.

(Adjusting title to match the ticket description.)

It’s going to be moved to contribute/how/promote (see Feature #5777), so maybe moving it directly at the right place would be better ?

#8 Updated by intrigeri 2015-02-21 17:30:48

OK, so while doing this, I’ll implant the underlay that will contain the promotion material into wiki/src/contribute/how/promote/material/, OK?

Done in the branch, works fine. Now, I need to talk to root@b.o so that we find a way they can live with to make this work in production.

Applied in changeset commit:28acff961aafe25b50e467dbe520a58995dfdf44.

  • QA Check set to Ready for QA

Done in coordination with root@b.o, merged already (otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to set up what we need by lack of testing material). Still, please review the branch :)

Our public ikiwiki should now refresh just fine when one pushes updates to the new promotion-material repo (which is documented on contribute/git, of course).

#12 Updated by Tails 2015-02-25 13:34:48

Unparenting, as everything else on Feature #6277 has been done, and this one is just waiting for review and not blocking anything anymore.
