With the nixos current situation maybe I should try to read Linux from scratch ? Does anyone has experience with it ? Would love to know how hard it is. :BlobhajfBlobbyHug:
When having the need to track big binary files, we have pushed them inside the repos and allowed them to balloon rather than implement LFS.
There is an interesting use case that came now though, which is the case when the interest is not about storing the large files in LFS, but to take advantage of the locking feature only... this case is less controversial as there will be actually no files in the LFS storage and no pointers in the repo.
Experimented a bit with this idea and seems to work ok.
Enabled LFS support in one of my Git servers, and as long as we don't use any pointers and we stick to use the locking functionality only, we could go back and forth between Git core only and Git LFS enabled servers withou any issue.
A rising tide raises all boats - if you're going to punish #redhat, make sure you punish all #Linux companies if you can't easily build their entire code tree yourself
My personal #VoidLinux experience so far is that it makes you work to make it work so that in the end you completely understand how each separate piece operates kind of like #LinuxFromScratch . You ask have I actually built an #LFS system ? Yep I went there and it was fun but best of all is the sense of accomplishment once you get at the end.
How do I feel about it only a few days into testing it ? It's actually growing on me and I can see why some folk switch from #ArchLinux to Void Linux.
