 Yes.

Thanks very much, I'll prepare and upload it today.

  I can appreciate the burden of checking a package of this size.
 
 In this case it wasnt about checking it at all. Only about the sheer
 size and the fact that ftpmaster does have some space issues.

I understand, the -doc package has a ridiculous size.  We're planning to
cut it into separate user and developer documentation, and split it
further into core and specialty functionality.  That doesn't help the
upload size, but will help users to get the help they need without using
excessive disk space.

  A better solution is currently being worked on, but might need some time.  
  Once
  we have a) a new ftp-master server or b) archieved the etch release, you 
  can
  reupload your package.
  Makes sense.  But if the above isn't sufficient reduction in the package
  size, how will we know when this happens?
 
 The archive of the etch release will get a message to d-d-a or so. :)
 
 Also, we are getting new hardware for ftpmaster, which has much more
 diskspace too, and which will finally allow us to setup
 data.debian.org. Your package, at least the -doc part, seems a good
 target for that.

Thanks, we'll look for the announcements on d-d-a and add -doc when
appropriate.

-Adam

Oh dear, that's too bad...  But yes, it is a gigantic package.

235 MiB including .orig.tar.gz.  (The -doc binary has a huge amount of
very large generated documentation...)  Does that reduce it's size
enough to consider re-uploading?

I can appreciate the burden of checking a package of this size.
But It's taken a good-sized team a few months of concerted effort to get
this far (development actually started about two and a half years ago),
and we'd like to be able to use the BTS to track the various issues with
the package, among other concerns.

[Also, there's a summary of all of the copyright statements in every
file of every module in debian/copyright-audit/ to make your life
easier.]

Oh sure, of course.
