You have to think about compressed data. ext_csources is 250MB *after* compression. extras and main *can* be compressed. But for me, it doesn't matter if it is in VCS or in a directory. And yes, VCS allows change tracking. The file names on hg are prepended by MD5 sum: Pavel-Janiks-MacBook-Pro:.ooo_tar_balls pavel$ md5sum d70951c80dabecc2892c919ff5d07172-db-4.7.25.NC-custom.tar.gz d70951c80dabecc2892c919ff5d07172 d70951c80dabecc2892c919ff5d07172-db-4.7.25.NC-custom.tar.gz Pavel-Janiks-MacBook-Pro:.ooo_tar_balls pavel$ So there is some work already done around this and it has some logic. -- Pavel Janík
