Hi,

I think it's a mistake when playing with SCM.

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/gimp-dbp.git/tree/

You can see the RPM source has been uploaded, too.

Please cleanup.

Thanks.

Hi Palle,

Firstly, congrats on being sponsored in Fedora!

It looks like a tarball has been committed directly to the gimp-dbp Git repo, as Christopher linked above.

Did you know that it's best to avoid committing opaque binary blobs (such as
tarballs) into Fedora's dist-git? In the case of the tarball,
there's no need to commit this file. Fedora has a "lookaside cache" which we use to hold large files such as dbpSrc-1-1-9.tgz.

You can read more about this by looking in the manpage for "fedpkg", particularly the portions that describe the "new-sources" subcommand. Fedora's wiki pages are also helpful: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_update_HOWTO

When we keep those sort of things out of Git, it makes the gimp-dbp Git repo much lighter and easier work with :)

For the immediate present, you can just delete the file from Git, and upload it with fedpkg new-sources. (Don't worry about trying to erase it from Git's history - Fedora's release engineering doesn't allow anyone to push history rewrites.)

Hi,

That is clearly a mistake on my part. I will correct it as soon as possible, hopefully later today.

RPM source removed. I didn't request a new build, as nothing has changed regarding the software and functionality.
