Why are people checking build artefacts into the repo?
- cesarb 4y agoPlaying devil's advocate: sometimes your build is non-reproducible, annoying to build, or both (for instance, needing a proprietary tool which can only run on a particular developer's laptop because the license is tied to that particular hardware, and which crashes half of the time for no particular reason). Keeping the build artifacts in the repository means you can reproducibly obtain that exact artifact, even years into the future.
- ranguna 4y agoThis limitation is not just about code it will also affect all artifacts like container and package registry, pipeline artifacts, lfs, the lot.
