If you have a server you can post the package on, the best approach is
to file a PR, with a URL pointing to the package you've built.

If you don't have a server, it is acceptable to uuencode the package and
include it in the PR, but it's not the preferred method, since it adds
bulk (and no real value) to the PR database.
