Can't push new qtbindings release (413 error)

[Ryan Melton]

Hi,

Rubygems is not letting me push my new release of the qtbindings gem
returning a 413 error.

The gem is very large (82Mb) but it contains the entire Qt framework and
allows for developing Qt applications using ruby on windows without having
to install Qt, Cmake, mingw 4.4 and go through a long compile process.

Any help allowing this to be uploaded would be appreciated. If deleting
old versions would help out that would be fine.

Thanks,
Ryan

I believe you should open an issue at rubygems.org repository in github:

https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems.org

Questions:

- Are binaries (beyond the extension) included in the gem?
- Was cross-compilation used to produce the binaries?
- Are the extensions stripped of debug symbols?
- Are sample files bundled in the gem?

In relation to the last point, normally no user dig into the gem content to
look at the samples but instead they pull the repository or copy around.

See if these points can help decrease the gem size.

Thank you.
