Description
Commons doesn't allow files over 5 GiB to be uploaded, and to enforce this we have used
ulimit -fto restrict the size of output files to 5 GiB so that no attempt is made to upload files that exceed the cap. However, the default error message for exceeding this limit (Exitcode: 153) is very confusing to users and doesn't tell them what they need to do in order to solve the error. This patch improves the error message for these kinds of errors.Changes
Exitcode: 153errors.background_size_limitis set to its current value via a comment.Screenshot
