Include VCF and GZ endings to .gitattributes

[TCLamnidis]

With the recent changes to trident to allow gzipped genotyped files as well as VCF, the git LFS attrobutes needs to be updated to also apply to files ending in gz and vcf.

This also applies to the other archives

Right! For the moment I think we should stick to the established PLINK file format in the community archive, though.

Changing the entire archive to .gz with new package versions would mean duplicating the data at all storage locations, because we keep old versions around.

And also for new packages I would stick to PLINK. Having two different formats in the archive doesn't sound very tidy (or?).

[TCLamnidis]

yes, Im not arguing for changing all packagess rn, just to have the option set up for future.

I think eventually offerring the gzipped bed files is a good idea to lower network traffic and free up storage on the server tho.

What do you think about going go gzipped bed- and bio-files from some point onwards, and in case genotype of existing packages gets updated? Or do we want to avoid having mixed formats? I think I would be leaning towards allowing heterogenous formats (after all, that's one of the nice features of trident) and allow gzipped-bed and -bim for new or updated packages, but keep the old unzipped ones.

OK - maybe that is indeed the best use of the new feature. Then we should also update the submission checklist to recommend .gz uploads.
