Hi Ben et al.,

I agree that the huge patch is not a good solution. I leave it to the maintainer to come up with an improved version.

However, if you want to impose a limit of 30k for patches, then the following packages will need to be modified, too (sizes in bytes):

318974 ./10.2-gcc3.3/stable/main/finkinfo/net/libnet-1.1.0-3.patch
318974 ./10.2-gcc3.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/net/libnet-1.1.0-3.patch
318974 ./10.2-gcc3.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/net/libnet1.1-1.1.0-1.patch
318974 ./10.2/stable/main/finkinfo/net/libnet-1.1.0-3.patch
318974 ./10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/net/libnet1.1-1.1.0-1.patch
318974 ./10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/net/libnet-1.1.0-3.patch
857330 ./10.2-gcc3.3/stable/main/finkinfo/editors/emacs21-21.3-11.patch
857330 ./10.2-gcc3.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/editors/emacs21-21.3-11.patch
857330 ./10.2/stable/main/finkinfo/editors/emacs21-21.3-1.patch
857330 ./10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/editors/emacs21-21.3-1.patch
857330 ./10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/editors/emacs21-21.3-21.patch
1489055 ./10.2-gcc3.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11/xv.patch
1489055 ./10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11/xv.patch


Cheers,
                Remi

I disagree. We should not accept patches this big in fink. As pogma said, please make it a tar.gz and put it on a web site. If you don't have one, we do.

I don't think we should commit patches over 30k. In fact fink should reject such patch files.

Please submit a revision to this package which grabs it from a site.

Hi,

I have a patch for xv that is 337k (compressed), and sourceforge won't let me submit it (250k limit or something like that). Can anyone tell me how I should submit large patches?

Split it up into two patches foo1.patch and foo2.patch. Use the PatchScript to apply them sequentially.


James
