Shall we split data in separate package?

Open YoungFaithful opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

  • The example data is currently provided automatically with the package
  • The data has 150 MB, the other files 4.2 MB
  • We could host the example data in a separate repository that is a julia package as well JouliaExamples

@holgerteichgraeber what do you think is the best practice?

Good point. I think it would be good practice to separate the two. However, I am not sure if at this point it would make any difference. The data is already in the git history, i.e. even if we take it out, I think that the package will still be 150MB large if you clone it from git.

Move data to CapacityExpansionData. The git is only cloned for dev, when using it as a package, git history is not downloaded.

https://github.com/YoungFaithful/CapacityExpansionData.jl/ We can continue removing the /data/ folder as soon as CapacityExpansionData is registered.
