ok, I did that. We're a fairly loquacious bunch, having generated 1.3 GB of list archives through the years. debian-user is averaging around 135 messages/day so far this year. It looks like I can save about 95 MB, not too insignificant, by compressing debian-changes and debian-devel-changes from 1998. Old postings from those lists aren't too interesting. Does anybody have any problems with that? I wanted to ask before I did it because undoing is expensive, bandwidth wise. Compressing a list brings it down to about 1/8 the size, which is good as it means we probably don't ever need to outright delete archives. We can always compress to save space. Guy
