154221 - Attachment size limit is too small

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Brian Ryner (not reading)]

The patch size limit is too small (300 KB).  I just had a 1.8 MB patch I wanted
to attach, and ended up needing to split it in half, then compress each half
with bzip2 and attach those.  Why not raise the patch size limit to say, 3 MB?

the limit isn't too small, your patch is too big. compressing it sounds like
a fine idea. 1.8mb was too big even before the limit was lowered.

i would mark this wontfix, but i'll reassign it to myk since he's in the
process of dealing with this issue.

I raised the limits to 500KB for patches and 300KB for non-patch attachments. 
Anything above those limits (and many under them) should be compressed.  I have
filed bug 157237 on hacking Bugzilla to do the compression itself.
