I create regular builds of widelands (https://launchpad.net/widelands). Now my ppa is over quota. Can you please increase size of https://launchpad.net/~timo-wingender/+archive/widelands-daily to 4 GiB?

I don't think you need more space. Looking at your PPA I notice a few things:

1. You're uploading very large native tar source packages to three distros; you should split this into a package with an orig.tar.gz to save space
2. Because the tar is being superseded each time you upload a new one, it needs to delete the old one. This takes a day for auto-superseding (so people can recover them if necessary), but you can speed the process with a manual deletion.

Your total size should be under 1GiB even without the .orig.tar.gz change after deleting old packages.

1. I now have split every package in a orig.tar.gz and a diff.gz. Is that what you meant? Will the orig.tar.gz only be stored and accounted once? I think it will still be uploaded with ever changes file,

2. How long does it take until the superseded and deleted packages are really removed?

The orig is stored only once and you can refer to it with newer uploads. When
building the package use "debuild -sd" to ensure that happens.

As previously mentioned, superseded packages take a day. Deleted packages
take about 15-30 minutes.

Can you help with this problem?
