Get sources from the original source about mattermost_ynh HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks for the feedback @opi!

Sure, I can do that. I had a feeling that Yunohost apps had a tendency to include the app sources inside the app package; but maybe it's not that reasonable when it includes binaries, indeed.

(For the record, I initially misread your comment, and thought you wanted to compile the binaries from source on the machine. I have long notes to explain this, but out they go :)

You're right about that tendency, it's an old one, and we try to move away from that ! You know, security is a process ... ;)

This should be fixed ; binary release is now downloaded at install-time.

Oh great !!

As your app is still in development and without a huge user base, I wonder if it's not a good time to get rid of some git history to avoid downloading a huge repo during git clone while installing.

Maybe it's not a good idea, but playing with git rebase could help us remove the commit that add mattermost source.

Good idea ; I've just done that, using git-filter-branch to remove the sources directory from the git history.

The repo size is now 12 Ko ; not bad :)

So good, thanks for your work !
