Good for them on cutting bloat and focusing on what's important to them.
Bad for me as now I have to find another service to store my project binaries and (likely) add to my monthly bills.
- fbuilesv 14y agoIf your binary files are not huge you can always add them directly to your repo (they don't have a repo file size limit anymore). If we're talking about multiple GB just go for S3, we're talking about cents per month.
- i386 14y agoDon't do that. After a while it really adds up and slows down cloning times.
- ludwigvan 14y agoOr each repo might have a corresponding repo where only binaries are pushed, and probably the raw link might be used as a workaround.
- mifrai 14y agoYeah, I'll likely end up using S3. Or maybe even bitbucket. But there's a very real and somewhat irrational negative emotional response when going from free to not-free. Or alternatively, from included in private costs to a paid for feature taken away.
- res0nat0r 14y agoAny time a feature is removed you are going to get people whining, no matter how small the feature.
- benatkin 14y agoYou also need to do it right away, as they are shutting off uploads today. This isn't just deprecation, but immediate removal of a feature. If it were just deprecation, it would stay up to give people time to change their practices. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprecation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprecation
- stock_toaster 14y agoIt should be noted that they are leaving the existing uploaded files available.
- benatkin 14y agoI knew that but I didn't think I needed to say that, but it can't hurt. :) It still leaves some prominent open source projects, including ElasticSearch, with extra work that they need to do for their next release.
- stock_toaster 14y agoTrue enough. Certainly a hassle for the people who used it. Anecdotally, I was always surprised when I ran across it being used, as it was a relatively infrequent occurrence. It seemed to always work well though, when I did. I was even tempted to use it for a few projects. Guess I will have to seek other avenues. Be it s3, dropbox, cloudapp, droplr, or something else.
