When it first appeared (it was yesterday) it was empty PKGBUILD with

the uploader will ask for deletion soon but I didn't see anyone asking
for deletion of the package so I checked it on the AUR. It was there
but the patch had 1GB! So I asked for deletion myself.
I could have sworn we had a file size cap on there.
I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the notice.
Well, if it was from /dev/zero, it compresses rather well and won't be
affected by a file size limit.
Hmm. Any ideas on how we could avert this kind of issue?
Something like

maybe?
