Okay I admit I'm not 100% sure that this is the case but it seems to me that repoman is currently not checking for size of files in sub-directories of $FILESDIR. So this is a request to check this out mostly :) Thanks, Diego
When checking this out, it works and thus gives a fatal error: $ mkdir files/test $ dd if=/dev/urandom of=files/test/test bs=1M count=2 2+0 records in 2+0 records out 2097152 bytes (2.1 MB) copied, 0.258748 s, 8.1 MB/s $ repoman full RepoMan scours the neighborhood... !!!

RepoMan sez: "Make your QA payment on time and you'll never see the likes of me." Furthermore, looking at http://packages.gentooexperimental.org/repoman-current-issues.txt we get to see two such files that confirm this for cvs added files: (24 KiB) dev-libs/mpfr/files/3.1.0/patch07 (22 KiB) x11-misc/xorg-cf-files/files/xorg-cf-files-1.0.2-solaris-prefix.patch
