I did a bit more research, and my understanding is that this problem could be solved with a reprepro wrapper, called e.g. `reprepro _reclaimdiskspace' that would: * be aware of reprepro's own locking, if any * call DB->compact() repeatedly, passing it the DB_FREE_SPACE flag and a low compact_fillpercent If someone wants to draft this (perhaps allowing one to pass a custom value for compact_fillpercent on the command-line), I'd be happy to test it on a copy of my production data, and to report back how it fares in practice :) References: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_02/html/programmer_reference/am_misc_diskspace.html https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17076_02/html/api_reference/C/dbcompact.html Cheers, -- intrigeri
