Repo : sync something else than git

[Julien DW]

Hi,

I would like to be able to download a zip file from a specific URL (which is not a git) written in the manifest.

I checked source code a little bit, but I haven't been able to find something... Does anyone have some advice or work on this subject ?

Best regards,

Julien De Wisscher

This isn't supported by Repo. Perhaps it would be a better fit for
your build system? Repo aggregates multiple git repositories and
it's not clear how a general file download feature would fit in.

Yes, I think that I wasn't clear, sorry.
I knew that it wasn't supported by Repo, and I was looking for a way to implement it. But Repo seems to be very delimited, and I'm a bit stuck..

Hi,

Just an idea. You may take a look at repo hooks. Maybe you can write a hook that does the download that runs on repo sync.

Kind regards,

Remy

You can see git-lfs which is supported to download large file from other file system.

I didn't think about it..!
I'm currently trying to implement an "otherfile" object which would be downloaded during "repo sync". I keep this idea in mind, thank you !
