Reduce repo size #328

Open soniamitchell opened 3 years ago

Put lecture slides and website into a separate package from the practical exercises?

Interesting, yes! We could have a second repo that depends on the first, and so people can install RPiR or RPiR.full (or something), and the latter will include the former. We'd have to think about how that would work in terms of the website and things, but it's a nice idea. We'd no longer need to trash the repo either, because you can excise parts from a repo if you need to (I'm pretty sure I've done that before).

That's great! (about not having to trash the repo) Let me know if you want it done 👍

Since this will trash the git repo completely and (I think) break everyone's local copies, I think we need to be cautious about doing this, and may need to wait a month or two... you could give it a try locally on a discardable copy and see how much it reduces the size though?
