How do I submit a LARGE patch to this group.
I've made some suggested changes to the GDB Internals manual, but since
the change includes an image, the diff file is nearly 300k, when gzipped
and uuencoded. I tried posting it yesterday, but since it hasn't
appeared, I presume there is a size limit.
It's not a particularly large image, but Texinfo requires lots of
flavours (EPS, PDF, PNG, TXT as well as the SVG source it all came
from), so the file gets big.
Second question. When I create the diff file from the patch, is that
expected to be relative to the main source tree, or just the directory
containing the changes (in this case the gdb/doc directory).
Advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeremy
