Adding all the current DrumGizmo kits as a package

Post by uns4ph3 »

I'd love to have it setup to where I am able to download all the latest DG kits as a package in the repository, updated when there are new kits. Is that doable?

Had a night to think about this and although I think it'd be cool on the surface, it is the kind of thing that might be a downside to others. Because the DG files are so large, I put them on my 1tb drive that's separate from the 128gig HD that my OS sits on - and if those were to just become a package, they would install into the OS folders, wouldn't they?

If they could install into the /usr/username/home directory (or the OS equivalent) then it'd be awesome.

I would not want all the kits, mainly because of size, but packages would be good. There could always be a master package with all the kits as a dependency for those that wanted them all.

We are actually working on setting up a git repository with al the xml files of the kits.
this means that you could have the audio files downloaded from the web-site stored manually and then simply do a git pull once in a while to get the latest xml changes.

For those interested, the repo can be found here: http://cgit.drumgizmo.org/kits.git/
To clone it, simply use

Code: Select all

git clone git://git.drumgizmo.org/kits.git/
