Please see the tracker bug for rationale. SizeViolation: 'files/disable-boeing-tests.patch' exceeds 20k in size; 21.0 KiB total
The existing fatal error cutoff in repoman is at 60KiB, and the devmanual says "any files bigger than 20KB-or-so should go to the mirrors." I guess I don't mind if you want to make the pkgcheck fatal as well, but what benefit is there to me deleting this patch, uploading it to my dev space, and updating the ebuild right now? Everyone has already downloaded the 20KiB+ patches in the tree, so there's no benefit that I can see. Why not make it fatal *from now on* and ignore the existing violations? Aside: 20KiB is relatively small these days, contrasted with the benefits of having things in version control and not having to worry about whose website some critical patch is stored (unversioned) on.
Imagine coming home and finding it cleaner than when you left it. But apparently I'm one of the maintainers for this package, I'll finish this and anything where maintainer didn't bother responding after 30 days.
I'm not trying to give you a hard time, just save you some effort on a problem that is capable of resolving itself. If you don't want to see pkgcheck errors in the meantime, why not drop the repoman fatal limit to 20KiB? Then you can go drink margaritas for a few months, and come back to a tree with no large patches.
Sorry, I indeed interpreted it as "too much work for too little gain". I'll pursue updating repoman in parallel, too. Thanks!
