[Discussion] Create a git submodule to host the pcap files #3414

Open gpotter2 opened 2 years ago

gpotter2 commented 2 years ago

I realize we could probably create a submodule on github to host things we don't want to be included in the secdev/scapy. For instance pcap files. (thinking of this looking at https://github.com/secdev/scapy/pull/3352)

@guedou What do you think? Is it worth the hassle?

That's an interesting idea, but that will introduce an extra step to run the tests. Let's keep that idea in mind for the next time we will need to add a new "big" file.

If that matters, I'd add 5c here: Not all pcaps IMO needs to be space-hog, if it's possible to trim them to respectable size (remove not needed packets from them). Eventually, It's possible to use Git LFS :)
