Good day I would like to improve the audio/libvorbis port by optionally patching in the aoTuV psychoacoustics, which are considered to be superior to stock libvorbis. However, the patch file that does this is ~170kB in size. I am wondering whether it is OK to put such a large file directly into the ports tree or if it should be downloaded as a distfile by each user. Is there any guideline on which would be the correct method? I would hate for my suggestion to be rejected by the port's maintainer due to me getting a formality like this wrong. Thanks, - Bartosz
