Description Yuri Tsimbaloff 2015-04-28 23:07:59 UTC

Git Large File Storage (LFS) replaces large files such as audio samples, videos, datasets, and graphics with text pointers inside Git, while storing the file contents on a remote server like GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise.

Reproducible: Always

It looks like a small number of dev-go/ packages are in the tree https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/dev-go

Would dev-vcs/git-lfs-bin package make sense here to avoid installing Go just for this tool?

Comment 2 Christian Strahl 2016-02-13 21:12:19 UTC

GitLab also supports Git LFS since version 8.2

Comment 3 Christian Strahl 2016-02-15 14:54:24 UTC

Using the ebuild[1] and eclass[2] from sabayon works for me.
