(29K) app-misc/workrave/files/workrave-1.8.5-libsigc++-2.2.2.patch I'm reporting this bug since repoman issued a warning about a file bigger than 20KiB. Big files should be moved to mirrors, or otherwise stored outside the main cvs tree, since the cvs/rsync tree is downloaded by all users, whether they'll use your package or not. Thank you, Diego
I don't touch otherwise working package for repoman _warnings_. 1.8.5 will die as soon as possible anyway because 1.9.0 has plenty of fixes codewise. Did that limit changed recently btw, I thought it was 30KB. Closing wontfix, if someone feels this is innapropriate please make the change yourself.
No the limit has always been 20K, and IMHO this is still a bug worth to fix since it's being a burden to users but it's not really my call I guess, maybe we should promote that to error for newly added files.

Let the humans decide what to be done in case the excess amount is not to much. (Such as 21K instead of 20K)
20K is already very big; what I meant is to make it impossible to _add_ further files, while still allowing the ones that are already in the tree until they can be taken out.
