It would seem that in the shift from volumio/Build, one of motivations for having a new repo wasn't implemented - namely https://github.com/volumio/Build/issues/413?

We still have quite leftovers from ./platforms in the repo, making clones ~47 MiB..

Do you have a proposal on how to get rid of this file history?

ashthespy commented 2 years ago

Multiple proposals are in https://github.com/volumio/Build/issues/413 https://github.com/volumio/Build/issues/413#issuecomment-646319461 https://github.com/volumio/Build/issues/413#issuecomment-752301893

But since this wasn't done during the switch to this repo, you will have to break all history (push -f).

Also the naming scheme of this repo is confusing, (OS version previously wasn't linked to the backend/nodjs-app version) but going forward will Bullseye be called Volumio 4?

Perhaps that is a good thing, and you could think yet another repo, archiving all the old ones and using that as a clean slate going forward?

I'd propose renaming the old build repo - it's got more stars ;-) Plus, given the lack of any dev there + new name, there aren't many risks of breaking history.
