Hmm - has this policy been changed in the past? While I'm aware of the 64kB limit, IIRC it is (was?) legal to compress larger patches. I prefer to have patches in some VCS, not just tarballs. This would mean I'd have to create some mico-patches repository somewhere. While this shouldn't be a problem in genereal, it slightly increases patch maintenance work. Given that this patch has an uncompressed size of ~65kB, I've splitted it up into 2 smaller ones. The size has always been 20k, not 64k, and given CVS is CVS it was never allowed to compress the patches. We already have a gentoo/patches repository in CVS. Remember that the gentoo-x86 tree is sent down to the users with each rsync, big patches should *not* be there at all. Ok, completely dropped FILESDIR. (In reply to comment #2) > The size has always been 20k, not 64k, Dunno 20k being the 'soft limit', thx! > We already have a gentoo/patches repository in CVS. Wasn't aware of such a generic repo existing. Actually, you mean gentoo/src/patchsets/ (have found this one making sense only)? Eventually worth to add a note to devmanual? Thank you! |
