Long time want ask - why? Why sources not under git too? Is there any troubles with big blobs? Can I point on such files from web? How? Especially I need it to point on my patches to provide it upstream.
Well one reason not to have big blobs in the git repo for the package is that it would make initial checkouts very large and take a long time to download. And over time most of the big blobs would be useless for packaging a current version. If you are working with upstream to patch their code, you can checkout their repository and use it for a base for the patches you want to upstream. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
