Hey all, I am the maintainer of the acroread package on the aur. As you might know, if you use that program, it fails to run with newer versions of harfbuzz and glib. So, as suggested by users on the bbs, I have decided to bundle the needed libraries with acroread, but I have run into a problem. When I try to push my patch to the aur, I get "maxium blob size (250.00KiB) exceeded)." What would be the best way to bundle the libraries? It doesn't feel right for me to put them up on my server.
TL;DR: What's the best way to bundle blobs with an aur package?
It is strictly forbidden to upload binary blobs to the AUR at all. The AUR does *not* provide an arbitrary hosting service for source code and binary release artifacts, and we limit the size of files that can be uploaded in an attempt to prevent the most egregious offenders of "I'm gonna upload binary blobs". The size is calculated to make it extremely likely that even large configuration data files that *are* permitted, like a kernel .config, are still allowed. Upload it to your server. P.S. The suggested modifications referenced in the comments and described on the forums, directly downloads the old libraries from https://archive.archlinux.org so I'm not sure why you want to upload them to the AUR.
