Here's another solution: We tag releases on a forked repository and we upload tar files to Github with only the files we need: https://github.com/openwrt-es/raspberrypi-firmware/releases/tag/20150213
This way the downloaded files are ~4MB: https://github.com/openwrt-es/raspberrypi-firmware/releases/download/20150213/raspberrypi-firmware-47bd0f0f46bc053d8e21655e3a69c4a73ae19b41.tar.gz Package diff: http://pastebin.com/jSRuQWRU What do you think?
