Hi all,
As we add new canaries to download.01.org almost every day, we start
using more and more disk space. At some point in the future this is
going to be a problem.
What do you think of removing canaries older than, say, 1 or 2 months?
I can't think of a reason for them to be there other than historical
purposes.
My only thought about this is that (iirc) I had to use downloads older
than that while bisecting which version caused debugging to be broken.
For the record, I had a conversation with Alexis and I'm not sure I was
correct that I was using canaries that were that old.
I find it difficult to believe that disk space is a problem - is it
the cost of mirroring?
I added this up and it seems to be only 27GB, so I doubt this is the
problem right now...Alexis suggested it is actually that you have to
scroll down so far due to the number of files, which is fair enough -
though why not sort them the other way?
Anyway, perhaps they can be archived somewhere since they're surely of
limited utility to most.
I archived them myself, 'just in case'.
Anyway, Alexis has convinced me there's nothing much to worry about. I
suppose my concern was more about using age (1 or 2 months) to delete
them, rather than just deleting them when a release is promoted to beta
(or whatever the term is)...perhaps there's a reason to keep ones that
are older than the latest beta, but in any case, I withdraw my 'concern' :)
Max.
