I agree.
I'm just concerned by the size of their tarballs and was thinking that
storage space was an important part of the distribution issues.

We still have free space and adding one more Hard Disk may be a good
solution. 

But we should maybe also ask them to submit their package, developed
on Savannah, to sapdb.org, as you propose because they seem to require
lot of space. They only have one two binaries and use already 100 MB. 

[/etc/apache-ssl]# du -sh /upload/sapdb-ports/        
109M    /upload/sapdb-ports
