## else the problem here is that there is a lot of platform independent data (e.g. a 5+MB-file of of white noise; wtf?), duplicated across all package versions and all platforms.
What do you mean about that? what's the white noise?
a typical package of else is about 30MB (zipped). this does not seem too much, but given that there are 10 different architectures supported by else (and each is shipped in a separate package) and your upload rate is >3 per month (for each package!), the numbers just sum up.
yeah, it's a lot, but it's 9 architectures and for the year I've released (so far) 9 of them (27=>35), and I was trying to have 7 versions uploaded when we hit the issue. So, well, 30 x 7 x 9 => about 1.9BG, yikes! The release rate got pretty high in the last 2 months cause I was teaching a course and really dove into this.
i accept that this is to a certain extend a problem with the deken infrastructure (namely: not being able to specify dependencies).
it's also due to my insisting that you do not remove releases from puredata.info.
but i think we need to do something about it.
@porres for the time being i would like to ask you to:
- remove the live-electronics-tutorial from the "else" distribution
until you do a proper release.
- merge multiple architectures into a single package (e.g. you could
have a package containing Darwin-amd64-32, Darwin-i386-32, Linux-amd64-32, Linux-i386-32, Linux-arm64-32 and Linux-armv8-32; and probably Windows-i386-32 and Windows-amd64-32 too, but i didn't test as the current uploads are broken) this requires some changes in your build pipeline, as you would need to use arch-specific suffixes (e.g.
l_i386
for Linux-i386-32) rather than the generic OS-specific ones (pd_linux
for all the Linux archs). as there we currently don't have different suffixes for the various 32bit arm variants, you would still need to package these separately)as an immediate remedy, i would even like to ask you to remove old alpha-releases (and it breaks my heart to say that).
Ok, I'll see how to build and upload this in a better way, joining up at all raspberries versions (maybe removing one or another, cause I have FOUR right now and maybe that's just silly and not needed), both linuxes and both windowses...
I had the compromise to keep around 5 of the last versions around. So I removed the one I was trying to upload and will hold it and try to do this in the new way. I removed one of the lasts and I'm keeping 5 old versions so far.
