Bumping this for attention - the packs folder is now 560 Mb!
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/msg/6143643210ee4a99

This makes it very hard for developers from more bandwidth-contrained
areas (such as Sahana developers).

Suggestions:
(1) Don't include the .w2p files in the repository (all the files in
these tarballs are included anyway)
(2) Don't rebuild the .w2p files on every commit - only rebuild those
whose files have been modified

Hopefully a quick hack to stop the repo from growing further is to
simply delete from the repo:
bzr remove admin.w2p
bzr remove examples.w2p
bzr remove welcome.w2p
Then add files to .bzrignore & then they can be regenerated without
affecting the repo size.

Cleaning up the historical files from the packs may be harder - I
guess it might need creating a new repo.
To me this is well worthwhile as the current problem is so severe.

I'd be tempted to do it like this:
* Push old-repo to a different branch (e.g. lp:~mdipierro/web2py/old)
* Create new repo with the current files in & push to the old
location: lp:~mdipierro/web2py/devel

Thanks,
Fran.
