Re: Efficient Storage of Media Files

Ruediger Landmann — 2012-05-24T02:32:41


That would (kinda) solve the problem for now; but the deeper underlying 
problem is that I think we're reaching the limit of what we can sensibly 
do with Git :)

This was only ever a stop-gap mechanism while we implemented proper 
packaging for the docs; unfortunately, like many systems that work "well 
enough", we never got to replacing it.

Personal admission: it was actually my personal goal during my year on 
the board to make this happen, but I never got to it ;)

So: what do we need?

1. I think the procedural obstacles to getting every writer and 
translator access to Koji are probably bigger than we want to handle. We 
therefore need to stand up a build system of our own. Ideally, this 
would be a Koji instance of our own: the benefit of Koji is that it 
insulates the build process very well from issues that might be specific 
to people's own machines. If that's too much work to pull off in the 
short term, we should simply create a build server with current publican 
and publican-fedora installed

It seems like a good candidate for being hosted outside of git. Perhaps we
could get some space on fedorahosted.org for the files?

Efficient Storage of Media Files

Christopher R. Antila — 2012-05-23T22:22:36

Hello:

Several weeks ago, somebody wrote to the list about the continually
growing size of the Docs web.git repository. I took a look around, and
confessed that most of the storage is taken up by multiple copies of
the Musicians' Guide. It's time to fix this.

I uploaded the audio files to SoundCloud long ago, but I don't think
we should use them as our primary place to hose this content. For the
"Ardour" chapter, we cannot host the files for licensing reasons...
aside from that, I feel it's better for us to be self-sufficient and
host our own files.

They're actually not that large (less than 100 MiB). The problem is
that Publican copies the audio files every time the Guide is published
in any language. We really only need one copy of the audio files. They
don't change between releases, and they're not translated.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Can I make a static directory in the web.git
repository, just for the Musicians' Guide's audio files? Then delete
all the curren

Alexander,

Welcome to Fedora Docs. We're about a week away from the release of
Fedora 17, so the group is wrapping up processes right now. Once the
Fedora 18 cycle begins, there will be plenty of opportunity for you to
jump in. In the meantime, look around and feel free to ask questions
here on the list or in the #fedora-docs room on irc.freenode.net. We
have weekly IRC meetings[0] at 1400 UTC on Mondays in #fedora-meeting.

We're looking forward to working with you!

Self-introduction

Alexander Moore — 2012-05-22T19:23:56

I have written a lot of academic papers for my English classes. I covered a
variety of topics in those papers. I wrote a screen play based on the
"Killer Angles" novel by Michael Shaara. I wrote a descriptive paper on
series and parallel electrical circuitries and another descriptive paper on
the process of long division. I can go on about the history of Linux for
15-20 pages. I am two years into studying for a BS in Electrical
Engineering so my skill set is a beginner's level of c and c++ and I am
taking a java class over the summer. I am learning a lot about linux from
Fedora 16's documentation and I want to be able to keep it easy to learn
for users of future version. I am getting a "service unavailable" prompt
when I tried to sync my key with server specified.

Thank you.

When you look at the list of languages, you can see that many of them have

should be merged into the correct ones.

For your guide, this should mean just merging Japanese, Dutch, Russian and
Ukrainian, and delete the rest of the lang codes as there are apparently no
translations into other languages available for your guide. 

As I said during today's meeting, feel free to ping me on #fedora-docs if
you need any help.

Hi:

I have attempted to do this for the Musicians' Guide for the Fedora 16
revision.[1] I will not publish this Guide in English for Fedora 17
because I haven't made many changes.

Could somebody please confirm that everything is correct?


Thanks,
