The last successful uploads into source.squeak.org were these:

That was before the box2 crash.

It looks like the response is due to this:

http://www.daveperrett.com/articles/2009/11/18/nginx-error-413-request-entity-too-large/

So it is not a limit related to source.squeak.org, it is just a limit
on size of uploads imposed by the nginx reverse proxy server. My guess
is that adding a local configuration file in /etc/nginx/conf.d/ would
be a reasonable way to bump the limit up to 5M.

I do not have any experience with nginx, so I will wait for Levente or
one of the other box-admins to respond (but I have access to make the
change if someone tells me what to do).

What a rediculous notion. How could you possibly suggest that three
and a half megabytes of compressed source code would be too large for
a single package?
