Re: Re: Re: Re: Big data is needed for unit test
I guess that this new orig.tar.gz would be created by using uscan (if the
link is added in d/watch) ?
Uscan requires the file to be on a webserver somewhere. I think you
would just create it manually using this:
tar Jcf fw4spl_0.1.orig-testdata.tar.xz md_1.jsonz
Then add a debian/README.source file explaining where the file came
from, how it was produced, the format and the command used to create
the orig tarball. Copyright and license information should go in
debian/copyright as usual.
Ok I think I will do that. ;)
So I have to upload my data (4GB) somewhere where uscan could find it. But
I've no idea about where upload it, given Github doesn't accept files bigger
than 100MB. Have you any idea ?
The test file is only 200MB, where is this 4GB coming from?
The file is just used by one of the unit tests. But there are more than 20 unit
tests which need their own specific data to work.
For the
200MB file it would be fine to upload the whole package including the
test file to mentors.debian.net. For larger things I think we would
need to implement data.debian.org, a service that has been wanted for
many years.
I'll will see with my collegues if we have an internal solution to upload the data.
One more time, thank you very much for your help and yourclarifications.
Best regards,
Corentin Desfarges
