But you have access to the source code, everything is in the popularity-contest package. Basically that amount to change popcon to produce a correct compressed attachement (base64'ed), and the server to recognize it and parse it. > > I proposed a solution, but the other popcon maintainer disagreed, so > > I did not it implement it. > > > Why? Are there any problems with doing so? I proposed to put the base64 of the .gz in the body of the email between specific delimiter (like POPCON-COMPRESSED-0 ... END-POPCON-COMPRESSED-0) and not make a full-blown MIME attachment (which is harder to implement).
