[gentoo-dev] Upcoming repoman check will fail on large files in the tree

[gentoo-dev] Upcoming repoman check will fail on large files in the tree

[Brian Harring]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 556 bytes --]

Yet another scan for files that are over 20k in a package's files
directory.

Policy states files over 20k are not to be commited- I'll be committing
the logic to enforce this shortly- files over 20k will be viewed by
repoman as a failed check.

Please take care of these files now, rather then yelling at me about it
down the line :-)

Related note, currently the policy addresses individual file size
limits, doesn't address limits on the size of the files directory for a
package.  Klieber had floated 100k as a max.  Sound decent?

just so you guys know, the answer is NOT to compress them and add them back 
into the tree

There seem to be rather a lot of those already:

find /usr/portage/*-* -regex '.*\.\(tgz\|tbz2\|gz\|bz2\)'

Is there a specific policy about not having compressed file in the tree? 
  If I'm not mistaken, a gz'ed or bz2'ed file in portage is sort of 
pointless, since the rsync enables compression.  Maybe repoman could 
complain about .gz, .bz2, .tgz, or .tbz2 files in the tree as well?

What about not allowing binary files at all?

Seems a bit odd to make restrictions of that sort, although if a binary 
file is shoved into the tree and updated a lot it'll be pita for rsync. 
  Dunno, the size limit is good enough for me at this point- we don't 
need to be sync'ing 150kb patches.

Related note, the check is InCVS, next 2.0.51 release will now mark 
those files as a failure.
Again, please correct these files.

Ok, since I've been asked about this several times on IRC... Some people
have names which include non-[A-Za-z] characters.

Incidentally, when are we going to officially standardise on UTF-8 for
ChangeLog and ebuilds?

No it won't.

UTF8 != binary.
UTF8 is fine, it's specifically designed to co-exist with ASCII/ISO-8559-1.
As such, CVS handles UTF8 perfectly well (UTF16 is a different matter).

I'm in favour of removing all properly binary files from CVS, to get the
checkout size down. Brian's earlier list of files over 20k comprises
more than 9Mb of files, and that's a not even a complete list.

Could we please consider removing sys-apps/portage/files/portage-rescue*
from the tree?
These files are there, and comprise relatively large chunk of space.
portage-rescue-2.0.44-ppc.tbz2
portage-rescue-2.0.48-r1-sparc64.tbz2
portage-rescue-2.0.49-r3-alpha.tbz2
portage-rescue-2.0.48-r1-sparc.tbz2
portage-rescue-2.0.49-r15-amd64.tbz2

The x86 portage rescue has already gone, and the others should join it.
Leaving an README.RESCUE would be prudent.

There is absolutely nothing I'm aware of stopping you from using UTF
already in ChangeLogs and ebuilds, barring some common sense
limitations, like bash not accepting non-ASCII for the names of
variables and functions.

UFT-8 (sometimes) uses the upper bit on certain bytes. It is therefore,
in the traditional sense, binary. You could, of course, just not mark it
as such for CVS...

No, but not everyone is using UTF-8, resulting in horridly mixed files.
Hence the "officially standardise". Right now we have a mess.

Sorry for the late reply, but does this really need to be checked by
repoman, shouldnt this kind of decision be left to the developers
discretion?

As a Gentoo user I welcome the restriction. It seems that developers
discretion was failing in some cases.

Personally I feel strongly against files subdirs in portage tree. Just
look at this statistics for files subdirs:

7503 files subdirectories contain:
22720 files (of that 7085 are files other than digest-*) of size
16837645 bytes (15452582 when not counting digests)

None of the files is needed prior to emerge -f. Most of them are never
used, but have to be transfered on emerge sync and have to be on the
harddrive. IMO this part of portage tree should be moved out and
downloaded with sources on fetch step.

Peter Cech

it should be but since it's obvious that policy is ignored (either because the 
dev doesnt notice or they just dont care), we need something to help enforce

I completely agree!

Some of the machines I maintain (like my home machine and my parents') 
only have access to 56k dialup and there's no local official rsync 
mirror for South Africa. The source files are easy to get hold of and 
can easily be transfered by CD/usb device, but keeping the tree in sync 
is a much tougher task.

Please keep the tree lean!

Re: [gentoo-dev] Upcoming repoman check will fail on large files in the tree

Last time there was a big file QA check of the tree, someone said that 
certain things (such as bootloaders) were exempt. As such, despite the 
fact that I don't quite understand why splash.xpm.gz is in the tree 
rather than on the mirrors, when I last committed a new grub I left it 
there in files/.

Will there be exemptions for certain circumstances (I'm sure there must 
be a reason for the above) or not?

Well, in that case, I really think you should put it on the mirrors
instead.
There are exactly zero reasons why it should be in CVS.
