one repo or many? about distributions

[dignifiedquire]

I would be very much in favor of having the build logic in each repo (i.e. in go-ipfs and station directly), and pull in the repos from this repo. We can put things like the build task for generating the json object into an npm module that is required by those repos. So a build would look like this:

• Read list of targets from a file
• For each target
  • Clone
  • Build
• Build site
• Update hashes

@dignifiedquire yeah, this could work nicely.

on go-ipfs specifically, that repo is enormous. so either it will be blown up and factorized (and it can become just the aggregation, roadmap, and build targets), or we could have a dist-go-ipfs for now to do the building.

@jbenet there might be an even better way to do this, using something like circle ci to auto build this stuff on push, and use this repo to just pull those artifacts.

hm indeed! though hate to make it do it a bunch of times.

also, not in the long run-- we'll want signed releases

(or we can do it as long as the signatures are produced independently)

We could probably make it so it only builds for git tags or something like that

[dignifiedquire]

@jbenet https://circleci.com/docs/configuration#tags they support only running commands on tags

Closing (stale, and we may be reworking the dist site as part of an overall effort on ipfs.io as a whole). Feel free to re-open if needed -- thanks!
