<zimoun>hi!

<zimoun>nckx: about Git vs Tarball, aside what civodul said about Disarchive, SWh is considering the addition of NAR checksum somewhere in their data model. https://forge.softwareheritage.org/T4538

<zimoun>Without starting such discussion about Git vs Tarball, to me, the main blocker is currently libgit2 which does not support shallow clone.

<nckx>Thanks, I wasn't aware of that plan.

<civodul>zimoun: what do shallow clones have to do with preservation?

<zimoun>civodul, nothing. I just think that Git would be better than Tarball; fixing many issues; but the lack of shallow clone makes Git not an option at large, IMHO.

<civodul>ok

<rekado>ACTION updates CRAN packages again…

<zimoun>civodul, PurpleSym1: fine for publishing the CRAN blog post today?

<civodul>zimoun: i wouldn't mind waiting till the end of the week, to avoid publishing everything on the same day

<civodul>after months of silence

<civodul>:-)

<civodul>WDYT?

<PurpleSym1>Ah, today’s the big day? 1.4.0?

<PurpleSym1>Waiting is fine for me.

<civodul>it is!

<zimoun>civodul: cool!
