Gee, I should check a PDF and see if they all pulled in correctly. > Some choices I can think of: We can split the tarball, > try to get exception from the website team for the 15Mb limit, post > these to the download center instead of the website, or set up a project > with a repository to house these--gosh maybe we could enliven the > 'printable many page manuals project' with the work you've done? Let me > know what you think, others chime in too if you have ideas. I think most of these options would work (assuming they aren't onerous) except for splitting the tarball. I think we would be hard pressed to find logical boundaries, it would be completely manual or would need to be scripted (hard to do when new volumes get added), and what happens when one of our boundary points ends up forcing another >15MB issue?
