bzr crashed with OverflowError in _create_z_content_from_chunks(): size does not fit in an int

Thanks for the interest in contributing Kesten. There's actually a great way for you to get started here, as your suggestion to warn when adding large files was recently implemented on the development version of Bazaar, and you can follow nearly the whole process Shannon went through in the merge proposal here:

<https://code.launchpad.net/~weyrick/bzr/54624-warn-on-large-files/+merge/70691>

Drop by IRC or join the mailing list for more assistance:

<irc://irc.freenode.net/bzr>
<https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/bazaar>

Thanks a lot martin.

I followed the link. That's great that you get so much feedback from the
team when working on a patch. I look forward to finding something to work
on. Do you have any "scrum" meeting times on the IRC?

Hi,

No specific meetings on irc, but you can find someone most weekdays,
especially during European daytime/evening.
