No simple way to fetch images

[hrw]

~ $ cd arm-enterprise-acs-20.03_REL2.4/prebuilt_images/v20.03_REL2.4/
v20.03_REL2.4 $ ls -l
razem 8
-rw-rw-r--. 1 hrw hrw 134 03-27 06:44 luv-live-image-gpt.img
-rw-rw-r--. 1 hrw hrw 134 03-27 06:44 PXEBOOT.tar.gz

Readme says "use git lfs pull"...

v20.03_REL2.4 $ git lfs pull
Not in a git repository.

So I cloned git repo. Started "git lfs pull" and got nothing.

I prefer to fetch prebuilt image rather than spending time on getting it build on some ancient ubuntu version. But looks like someone decided to not make it possible.

Hello Marcin,

Thank you for the query

Before doing the git lfs pull did you follow the step mentioned in the https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-enterprise-acs/blob/release/prebuilt_images/README.md to install the 'git lfs' tool?

All pre-built image(s) have been uploaded using git lfs tool. Refer to http://git-lfs.github.com for information on installing git lfs tool.

I have verified git lfs pull command after your query. It is working fine.

$ docker run -it -u root debian:buster
# cd;apt update;apt install -y wget git-lfs
# wget https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-enterprise-acs/archive/v20.03_REL2.4.tar.gz
# tar xf v20.03_REL2.4.tar.gz
# cd arm-enterprise-acs-20.03_REL2.4/prebuilt_images/v20.03_REL2.4/

Can not present it simpler that it does not work.

Thank you for the details.

The 'git lfs pull' will work only in an active git repository and not on a downloaded tar ball of code.

The 'git clone' of the repository must be done. Please follow the below steps.

$ git clone https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-enterprise-acs.git $ cd arm-enterprise-acs/

$ git checkout release $ cd prebuilt_images/

$ cd v20.03_REL2.4/ $ git lfs pull

So add this information to release note and to readme in tarball.

[edhay]

Thank you for the suggestion. We will add this information in the Release Notes and README.

The information is added here: https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-enterprise-acs/blob/release/prebuilt_images/README.md
