Hi @ipatch, sorry about that. The bandwidth quota seems too low if it allows that much data. However, I wonder how they measure that. Perhaps linking these distribution files to another repository for large files would be best. In time, changing the compression schema from tgz (tar.gz) to txz (tar.xz) cuts the size almost in half...

Create a new repo and zip the files in a split archive with parts size lower then <100 mb (github limit of file size). Unlimited download.

Like I did with the netbsd 8 test set

You could also try a new repo with the unpacked files. Just mention in the readme you have to be root to clone ;-) that way you could add your modifications as an update later if you have a working system. I did that on my private git repo

also there is maybe something missing in the instructions to compile the 7.2 sets... your (now removed) sets pass the a.out when I try to bootstrap check. While if you compile (on netbsd 8.0) the 7.2 sets following the instructions it fails the bootstrap op the airport with the compiler can not create output files.

Also did bash2 compiled?

I'll check those options out... Once I got a good way to compile packages, that can be safely reproduced, I'll look into it.

Regarding the packages compilation each time I have time to look into it I move a little further, but not yet. Some of the dependencies are giving some hard time.
