With UW cluster gone/going, what is then the recommended way to post packages like 36MB jmol from https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/19430 ?
I've tried to post a link to SageMathCloud - while it was possible, it required installing keys into a project and then copying it over SSH since the file is too large for the web interface. The resulting link has to be handled by a human, since it is not a direct link. I posted an alternative to Dropbox which also seem to require extra clicks and interaction. I imagine this would be common for many other services. Creating my own site just for the sake of posting a package (which I am doing once a year or less) is a bit of an overkill. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
