Good question, I hadn't thought of that yet.

True. Having binary data in SVN is not ideal. On the other hand, a
definition of what goes into a revision control system is: all the files
that cannot be created by other files. From that point of view having
the data sets in SVN isn't a problem and it does give us the benefit of
the "all in" system.

We could try that. We still have quite some room on our server account:

All in all, I think we should have the data in SVN. We don't want to
make building the documentation too hard. Working around the non-free
data will be hard enough work.
I tried to find out if there is a maximum of storage on the R-forge SVN
server, but I couldn't find an answer.
