[pymvpa] Please do not yet merge sg/master from alioth

[Michael Hanke]

Hi Scott and list,

yesterday two rather huge datafiles were pushed into the repository on
Alioth, as part of a new data reader Scott is working on. Both files are
currently located in mvpa/misc/io/plexon and together add 12 MB to the
repository.

Those file (if they are necessary for unittests are demonstration
purposes) should go into mvpa/data. However, I am more concerned with the
size of the files. They would effectively triple the size of the source
tarball -- and I don't know whether it is worth it.

Scott, can you add some information if those files are critical, or if
their size could be reduced while preserving their suitability for
whatever they are necessary for? The largest data file we had so far is
the fMRI dataset with 1.3 MB.

If it turns out that we need more and more data files, I'd prefer to
separate them from the source tree and keep the repository at a
managable size.


Meanwhile I am going to revert that push -- so please don't merge it!!


I want to emphasize that I am not against all this, but I just want to
discuss this topic before we have it as a fact in the repository
history.


What do you think?


Michael
