(34K) sys-block/partimage/files/partimage-0.6.6-andre-przywara_amd64.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

Fixed by removal of 0.6.6. (0.6.7 doesn't use this patch and supersedes it with KEYWORDS)
