Efficient Storage of Media Files

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello: Several weeks ago, somebody wrote to the list about the continually growing size of the Docs web.git repository. I took a look around, and confessed that most of the storage is taken up by multiple copies of the Musicians' Guide. It's time to fix this. I uploaded the audio files to SoundCloud long ago, but I don't think we should use them as our primary place to hose this content. For the "Ardour" chapter, we cannot host the files for licensing reasons... aside from that, I feel it's better for us to be self-sufficient and host our own files. They're actually not that large (less than 100 MiB). The problem is that Publican copies the audio files every time the Guide is published in any language. We really only need one copy of the audio files. They don't change between releases, and they're not translated. POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Can I make a static directory in the web.git repository, just for the Musicians' Guide's audio files? Then delete all the current copies, and replace with a symlink? I don't want to do first and ask questions later, just in case it would interfere with Publican... that would be bad news so close to a release! Christopher.
