Hey Sean, Jah, I did that...my .slugignore is: tmp/* log/* coverage/* spec/* koha/* jetty/* That dropped it down to 30 from ~50mb, so that's good . (koha has some scripts wrote to pull from our ILS). I think the slug size is a really minor issue. Heroku says under 25mb is good, but over 50mb is not so good. Not "Good", but not "Chaotic Evil" . "Neutral Good".
