Remove Mirage Firewall tarball for a better git object compression #32

Closed ben-grande closed 3 months ago

ben-grande commented 3 months ago

Current problem (if any)

Mirage Firewall formula has a tarball, it is easier to hold the tarball and bring it with the formula to dom0 them having to download it over the internet an install it in Dom0.

Unfortunately it is a large object and greatly increases the git database.

Proposed solution

Download Mirage-Firewall over the internet and install it in Dom0.

The value to a user, and who that user might be

Users and developes can get updated versions without having to waiting for me to build it locally. It also decreases the git database size.

To remove recursively the tarball, had to rewrite history, commits signatures was stripped, had to use a signed tag in each commit.

Fetching the tarball is quick even with a slow network connection.
