request to introduce a github repo also for the toolchain with corresponding history

BrenkeM · Apr 30th 2024

Hi,

we like the github repos of F+S and already adopted the repos.

What is missing is the toolchain repo (precompiled). I already created this repo on our side ([1]), but it would be great to simply mirror the latest github repo from F+S.

Can you do this. I can also share my repo with older versions (maybe not complete (see [2]).

Code

toolchain-armv7ahf$ git tag
11.2
4.7.2
5.2.0
7.4.0
8.3
9.3

Hello,

We would like to avoid hosting binaries files in a git repository, as it is not good practice and github restricts filesizes to 50MB max

(https://docs.github.com/en/rep…out-large-files-on-github)

What we are already planning, is hosting a git repository with the defconfig files of the toolchains and adding the binarie files as github releases, hosted on our SFTP servers.

(https://docs.github.com/en/rep…-on-github/about-releases)

Would this also be sufficient for you?

Your F&S Support Team

Hi.

Indeed. Binaries in repos are not a good thing. A download page with a list of all (and the latest) toolchains would be great and sufficient.

But please povide a link specially to the latest toolchain with every update (just like in github releases)

Thanks.
