P.S. After sending the above message, I got the following auto-reply:
Your mail to 'Freedos-kernel' with the subject
Updated unstable kernel patches and binary
Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.
The reason it is being held:
Message body is too big: 76015 bytes but there's a limit of 40 KB
Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive notification of the moderator's decision.
I don't know who is that "moderator", but obviously I can't send the kernel binary. So here's the patch only. Now you know about the limitation. 40 KB must be a SACRED number EVEN for SourceForge!
I'm the moderator of the FreeDOS lists. So your message was held until I could get into the system and deal with it.
40kb is a good number to set the limit, and I don't mind that SF did that for all lists. I often get a number of virus/spam emails around 49kb, so 40kb limits the number of spams & viruses that make it to the FreeDOS lists.
What you don't see is that I have to deal with a number of administrative requests each week (usually about one a day) where a virus has been sent to the FreeDOS lists, and it's over the 40kb limit. Yes, a few viruses/spams make it to the list because they are smaller than 40kb, but trust me - it's _much_ fewer than the ones I have to deal with on the administrative requests page. So increasing the limit beyond 40kb to allow larger patches to be submitted would also increase the number of spams/viruses that make it onto the list. And I don't think anyone wants that. :-)
