Hi Ben. There's a tradeoff here between, on the one hand, encouraging packagers to keep patches small and thereby keeping the fink info/patch database at a reasonable size, and on the other hand, making sure that we don't add unnecessary barriers to packaging things up.
If we have to find a way to host 50 different patch files on fink's site, that's going to make things difficult for both the maintainers and the fink core team. On the other hand, if its only 2 or 3 packages which need "large" patches, then this is handled more easily. So I tend to agree with Remi that, given the patches which already exist, something like 300K is probably a more reasonable cutoff than 30K. Or maybe something in between, like 100K? -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
