Error cloning the repository due to "lack of data packs" (LFS)

[bbossola]

Hi guys, it seems that's is now problematic to clone the repository, as an error from GitHub is reported:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/nice-registry/all-the-package-repos
Cloning into 'all-the-package-repos'...

Account responsible for LFS bandwidth should purchase more data packs to restore access.

Errors logged to '/tmp/all-the-package-repos/.git/lfs/logs/20220513T170018.111632974.log'.

fatal: data/packages.json: smudge filter lfs failed
warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD'

I can confirm that also using the API to retrieve that specific files, it fails with the same error:

curl -X POST \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.git-lfs+json" \
-H "Content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"operation": "download", "transfer": ["basic"], "objects": [{"oid": "2970784795da51409d84243b45dfe0edbb22bd86d283e99b604d1ebd38a89829", "size": 107728556}]}' \

(I followed a simple Gist available at https://gist.github.com/fkraeutli/66fa741d9a8c2a6a238a01d17ed0edc5 )

Any advice?

Hi, yes, we're aware of this and currently discussing how to resolve this.

@zeke I emailed you about this a few days ago, please check when you can

[MartinKolarik]

@bbossola in the meantime you can still get the files from npm.

Thanks. Atm I got a slightly old version from the commit before the move to LFS: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nice-registry/all-the-package-repos/b30c5b80fa1331bf09eda98b0b40bdb63f5e7bb6/data/packages.json

How would I get the files from npm?

[MartinKolarik]

This has been resolved.

Thank you for sorting it out! Just so we're clear for posterity, @jimaek pitched in and upgraded the @nice-registry org to include one "data pack" for more Git LFS storage and bandwidth.

Thanks so much for taking care of it! 🙏🏼
