Split libretro-thumbnails into individual repositories #338

Closed RobLoach closed 6 years ago

RobLoach commented 6 years ago

The libretro-thumbnails repository is getting really large, which makes it difficult to clone and maintain when you don't have much harddrive space available. Splitting the repository into its own org on GitHub will make management of the individual systems much easier.

What I'm proposing:

  1. Create a new http://github.com/libretro-thumbnails org on GitHub
  2. Create a repository in the org for each system
  3. Add all the images to the repos
  4. Create a new http://github.com/libretro-thumbnails/libretro-thumbnails repo that would allow easy checking out of ALL the thumbnails for each system
  5. Update http://thumbnails.libretro.com/ to use the new repo that automatically checks out all the child repos

I am fine with this as long as you can make sure that the libretro-super scripts all get updated too so that there is no interruption in how we currently do things. I also need admin controls over that libretro-thumbnails place, we can share ownership there, I don't really mind as long as I don't get locked out of it.

You should be good! https://github.com/organizations/libretro-thumbnails/settings/profile

make sure that the libretro-super scripts all get updated

Couldn't find anything in libretro-super for this, but did add a few commands to the Makefile to assist with managing http://thumbnails.libretro.com/ and http://thumbnailpacks.libretro.com ....

make update # Brings down all the new thumbnails
make packs # Re-builds all the thumbnail packs

I'm taking care of switching to RobLoach's repo without interruption.
