Redistributables for running code from an article are to large too be submitted using the wizard
-
Hi there, I have currently finished writing a small article about a piece of software I developed. Although the code itself makes up only 740KB zipped, it is dependent on external libraries, that need to be deployed along the program to run. In my case this external library is a modified version of the Chromium browser itself. Unfortunately, the size of this redistributable package including chromium and all of its dependencies is 21MB in its compressed form, making it uneligible to be uploaded using the Article Submission Wizard. Chromium in its source form requires a minimum of 15GB disk space, so this is not an option either. Any help is greatly appreciated. Alexander

What we'll have to do is use a local link for the 740KB, and an external one for the rest. Would that be acceptable? Sadly we can't host files that big.

No problem, I included the binary package into the Github source and mentioned its existence in the article, I will update it to reflect the fact, that the binaries are not hosted here.
