I would need to upload my .zip file containing the 13 files I
modified (with intenal comments showing the changes),
a simple script I used to copy the modified files to the
hplip source, and a readme file in order to explain what
I did. Is it ok to upload my .zip file to a lfs hint? I've not
made a hint before, but it seems the attachments are mostly
patches and scripts.
