I just found out, a few days ago, that the new mail server in this institution will silently drop e-mails that exceed a built-in limit; if you have sent me big files in the last 4 months and I never got back, it means we have to find another way. Example solutions: 1) split the big files using the 'split' command and send me the pieces. Example for sending aa.tar.gz : $ split -b 200k aa.tar.gz aa.tar.gz.pieces. $ for i in aa.tar.gz.pieces.* ; do echo $i | mutt [EMAIL PROTECTED] -a $i ; done $ rm aa.tar.gz.pieces.* If you don't have mutt you can use $ for i in aa.tar.gz.pieces.* ; do uuencode $i $i | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; done 2) You should upload your public gpg key to a gpg server, and send me a copy; then I will send you crypted info on how you can send me very large files (basically, I will create you an account you can rsync to). Actually, you should send me a public gpg key nonetheless, and sign any package that you wish that I send into Debian > Until now I've been preparing pure-gpl version of mplayer as advised by > debian-legal, and that version have been sent to Andrea.
