[schurzi]

SUMMARY

Don't include tests and pipeline definition in galaxy release, since these only increase package size and do not bring any benefit.

ISSUE TYPE

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

currently following files are included in the release:

Should we also exclude the changelogs folder?

[felixfontein]

So far the policy for community collections is to contain all material used to build them, and that includes test and CI config. (There are potential legal problems when we don't do that.)

Also, simply excluding all of tests/ is a Very Bad Idea, since this also excludes tests/sanity/, which makes it impossible to run sanity tests on the installed collection without getting new errors.

thank you for clarifying that. I will close this now, as there is nothing left to be done.
