Hello,
I am in the process of updating dev-python/mkdocs-rss-plugin (in GURU),
and I find myself in a pinch.
To build the documentation, there are 74 files needed. It's too much to
add them to the SRC_URI and copy the files in src_prepare, but at the
same time, the best compression achieved on a tar archive is 3.3M and I
worry about putting it in a files directory.
Does anyone has an idea on how to solve this ? I would prefer not to
create a git repo and add it from there.
Regards,
Henri Gasc

It is even a violation of Gentoo policy to have files larger than IIRC
20kb in files/.
This *must* be handled via SRC_URI, where to host the tarball is up to
the maintainer.
