Problem Submitting to Repo

I have tried to submit my latest add-on Xodus (http://www.hyper-typer.com/news/xodus-export-modx-users) 3 times at this point. Each time, it seems as though my transport file is being uploaded, then there is a delay of about 10 seconds and then I am bounced to the submission form again but its blank and there is no indication that anything has been submitted.

Can someone on the team look into this - last submission attempt I mad was at about 14:04pm GMT. I suspect it might be something to do with the size of the transport file - its 21.4MB due to the use of an external library.

How does adding a 3MB library bloat your extra to 21.4MB?

You might want to try using the library without documentation, and link to their documentation in your own docs.

That indeed is a cunning plan - never thought about the docs!

Well still no joy. Removing the docs and the tests from PHPExcel still leaves me with a transport file of 12.2MB and still having the same issue when I try to submit.

Looking at my folder full of packages, the biggest one I have is for MIGx at 711Kb. The CKEditor comes next at 660Kb. Even Articles, which includes a bunch of other packages, only weighs in at 599Kb.

Thanks Susan, let me have a poke around here and see what is contributing to the size. It's a strange one, assumed it was PHPExcel but maybe not.

Max upload size on MODX.com is 8megs, sorry Biggest package I know is TinyMCE at like 5megs.

Ah, we're making progress, the library weighs in at 21MB uncompressed but 17mb of that is coming from the PDF handling files which I don't actually use so I'm going to rebuild without it and test.

Thanks for the direction Susan, wouldn't have thought of this in a million years!

And thanks Mark, good to know for future reference, can't imagine anything I do that would come near that size normally.
