Commit b62b7ff introduced some very large example files:
$ du -sh mappdf/map_PDF_example_data
102M mappdf/map_PDF_example_data
This makes the source repo unwieldy, because even if removed, the contain permanently remains in the git history.
Is it critical to include and distribute these files with the package?
Please consider some other solution for working with huge data, here are some options:
- keep them in dropbox or similar service and download once on demand
wget --timestamping URLToBigFile
.
- keep them in a separate git repo and add them as git submodule.
- store them using GitHub LFS extension - https://git-lfs.github.com.
I'd recommend to rebase this repo to permanently remove the huge data. The project is small enough that this should not cause much disruption.
