[Slackbuilds-users] Size limit for vendored dependencies

[Tonus]

Hi all,

Perhaps a warning in the README could be useful ? If it is the right place for that kind of information. 

Regards

Some vendoring optimization later I ended up with a vendored-sources tarball that's 700-900 Mb, depending on compression method (three layers of yarn, a layer of cargo and a couple of pre-built packages, most of it is already compressed so any compression only saves ≈10-20%). That's not an issue for SBo as no source is hosted here and all of that would be downloaded anyway even without vendoring, however it is a potential issue for a comminity infrastructure, namely slackware.uk which caches all source tarballs.
