Hi Scott and list, yesterday two rather huge datafiles were pushed into the repository on Alioth, as part of a new data reader Scott is working on. Both files are currently located in mvpa/misc/io/plexon and together add 12 MB to the repository.
Those file (if they are necessary for unittests are demonstration purposes) should go into mvpa/data. However, I am more concerned with the size of the files. They would effectively triple the size of the source tarball -- and I don't know whether it is worth it. Scott, can you add some information if those files are critical, or if their size could be reduced while preserving their suitability for whatever they are necessary for? The largest data file we had so far is the fMRI dataset with 1.3 MB. If it turns out that we need more and more data files, I'd prefer to separate them from the source tree and keep the repository at a managable size. Meanwhile I am going to revert that push -- so please don't merge it!! I want to emphasize that I am not against all this, but I just want to discuss this topic before we have it as a fact in the repository history. What do you think?
