I found that my Sage documentation directory was taking up 15GB of hard
drive space, because of a bug (which I think has been fixed, but I don't
remember where). The bug was caused by a recursive symlink
local/share/mathjax/mathjax -> local/share/mathjax
When the contents of local/share/mathjax were copied to various _static
directories in the html documentation, rather than just reproducing the
symlink, it created many layers of subdirectories; for example,
ca/intro/_static/mathjax/mathjax/mathjax/... Basically mathjax all the way
down. I don't know if this happened all at once, or once each time I built
the documentation.
To see if you have this problem, see if you have the symlink. You might
also find out how much disk space local/share/doc/sage takes up (for
example, "du -s -h /path/to/SAGE_ROOT/local/share/doc/sage"). On my
computer, it is 1.9GB. If you are using up a lot more space than that, you
might have hit this bug.
To fix: remove the symlink SAGE_ROOT/local/share/mathjax/mathjax. Then run
"make doc-clean" to remove the old documentation, and then run "make" to
rebuild the documentation.
Question:
- has the bug been fixed, or is that symlink still being created?
