About those firefox tars... #40

Closed lochlainn closed 3 years ago

Just a suggestion: if you wanted to make those easily available without inflating the repo size, you could try faux-creating them into a build artifact. Maybe write a short shell script to curl them down from the public repo, then have that sit statically in your CI result? Hell, you could even put them in a release.

It's not a huge issue, but my machine took the git pull pretty hard when I updated my repo from last year, haha.

Yes, including them in the repo certainly has a few drawbacks. But so does fetching them - some CIs are sandboxed and can't access the internet. (e: I'm not just thinking about my own, I'm also thinking of Linux distros and other external CIs.)

Neither option is good. I believe this is the less bad one, but I haven't done a whole lot of research on that topic.

Ideally, I'd find something that trains Flips' PGO as well as the Firefoxes but takes less space, compresses better, or can be autogenerated from a 3KB Python script.
