It's probably also worth noting that large numbers of tiny packages have been a point of significant controversy in terms of archive management and the archive acceptance policy for many years. I've seen several packages rejected before, at least initially, for being split into too many tiny packages or packaging something that would be better included in another package.
I haven't reviewed the details of these specific packages, but I can reassure you that you're not being singled out here. This is something that ftp-master does routinely check for, and lots of other people's packages have been rejected for the same reason in the past. This has always felt to me like a technical flaw -- it would be nice to make adding new packages cheap and find some way of not worrying so much about metadata bloat -- but I have no technical solution. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
