Hi Folks I am playing a little with the package repository, trying to make it appear to a browser in a reasonable tree form.
I _believe_ by using the git features branches and tags we could provide a reasonable tree for our packages. Just looking at the current settings for the packages https://sourceforge.net/p/leaf/packages/ci/master/tree/ the 'master' part in the URL makes me think that by using a branch 'stable' we could probably come up with a URL like https://sourceforge.net/p/leaf/packages/ci/stable/tree/ I don't know, if we can use this to just give access to the current or stable files. I did some local experiments mega@leafbuilder:~/leaf/devel/packages$ du -s . 5961104 . mega@leafbuilder:~/leaf/devel/packages$ git branch master * stable mega@leafbuilder:~/leaf/devel/packages$ ls i386 tools version mega@leafbuilder:~/leaf/devel/packages$ git checkout master Checking out files: 100% (3087/3087), done. Gewechselt zu Branch 'master' Ihr Branch ist auf dem selben Stand wie 'origin/master'. mega@leafbuilder:~/leaf/devel/packages$ ls 3_1 4_0 4_1 4_2 4_3 5_0 5_1 stable tools mega@leafbuilder:~/leaf/devel/packages$ du -s . 6605796 . This leads me to believe that by using branches we could get a more granular access to the files. GIT appears to be quite efficient to manage it's branches, which makes me believe it either handles the inodes directly or does some link management. In either case there appears not to be a big overhead. I have not yet written this back to sourceforge, as I would like to have some feedback on this aproach. Thanks Erich
