A very-existent problem (the scientific package maintainers deal with this at least as much as the games package maintainers from what I gather). It's come up a lot over the years, but the most recent productive thread I remember was this one about a data.debian.org archive proposal for extremely large, architecture-independent data packages: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/09/msg00692.html I'm not sure what became of that, but I'm curious to find out since I'll be staring down the barrel of a similar problem soon enough. -- { IRL(Jeremy_Stanley); WWW(http://fungi.yuggoth.org/); PGP(43495829); WHOIS(STANL3-ARIN); SMTP(fu...@yuggoth.org); FINGER(fu...@yuggoth.org); MUD(kin...@katarsis.mudpy.org:6669); IRC(fu...@irc.yuggoth.org#ccl); ICQ(114362511); YAHOO(crawlingchaoslabs); AIM(dreadazathoth); } -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
