Temporarily enable the experimental repo by default?

There are a few packages at present only available for Carbon if micko01's experimental repository has been enabled.
Those which turn out to be essential for Carbon will eventually be migrated to the "official" BL repositories, but how about making micko's repo a default Carbon setting for now, by adding it to the install instructions or to install scripts?

Included in this suggestion is a request to @micko01 - you set up this repo as a place for new Wayland-related packages, are you OK with extending its mission to any newly built packages that aren't yet ready to go straight into the BL repos?

Re: Temporarily enable the experimental repo by default?

The carbon-trixie repository's InRelease file pins it at 100 so it's "safe" to add, even for a stable release. Packages can only be installed from there by targeting it specifically, unless they are only available from that repository.

I'm fine with it. I already have non-wayland specific packages there, the most recent from @HoaS

Just depends whether the bandwidth limit set by github gets exceeded. That could spell trouble. So not too many I feel.

I don't think the openSUSE Build Service has any download limits. MX Linux use it for some of their custom repositories.

Is there an explicit download bandwidth limit? I haven't found one...

No not too many, and we'll migrate packages to the official repo as soon as they seem OK.
(Packages on the official BL repo should* have the source tree publicly available, so that's a little bit of extra work when migrating if there are only the source tarballs.)

*) Just by our own policy. Currently on GitHub but in principle it could be elsewhere. But all in the same place.

Re: Temporarily enable the experimental repo by default?

^That's for the Large File Storage.
I can't find anything for regular repositories...

Ah, here for Github Pages:

GitHub Pages sites have a soft bandwidth limit of 100 GB per month.

https://docs.github.com/en/pages/gettin … thub-pages

That ought to be enough.
