4 Hi there,
5
6 I'm updating the app-crypt/ophcrack-tables package to include the new
7 tables available from their site. These are basically just additional
8 data packages that can be useful with the app-crypt/ophcrack package,
9 but they're very large. Including all of them will come just short of
10 30Gb. I don't know whether it's ok to add that to our mirrors, or add
11 RESTRICT="mirror"?
12
13 Also, these take up a lot of space in distfiles. Does anyone know of
14 a clever way to allow them to be installed without also stashing a
15 copy in distfiles (symlinking to the distfiles directory is a no go,
16 because each "set" needs its own files to have the same name as the
17 other sets)?
18
19 I guess it's a bit of an infra question, but thought I'd ask here in
20 case anyone else has found themselves in a similar situation. For
21 more specifics about what the package is like/for see the test ebuild
