Re: [Zope] ZOPE - Size reduction ???
This is funny. HDs are so cheap today, Er, this is fine if you're building a new box (and if you're using simple IDE drives) but rather less so if you've exceeded the capacity on an existing system and/or you're using SCSI drives. Yes capacity is cheap, but /adding/ capacity is rather less so - if there's space you can drop in another drive (which may in turn give you heat problems) but you've still got to manage allocation of storage to the new drive. If there isn't space then you're talking about adding in another box (rather less cheap) or transferring the data from old to new - slow and the accountants won't be happy about writing off the old one. In addition you have to worry about the cost of the time taken to perform any of the above.

Re: [Zope] ZOPE - Size reduction ???
Guten Abend. Er, this is fine if you're building a new box (and if you're using simple IDE drives) but rather less so if you've exceeded the capacity on an existing system and/or you're using SCSI drives. I use Ultra Wide SCSI on my main workstation. Compared to what I had to pay for a 20 MB HD for my Amiga ten years ago, it is really cheap :-) Of course, storage is rather expensive if you're held hostage by a proprietary workstation company with ridiculous pricing for HDs like e.g. HP. heat problems) but you've still got to manage allocation of storage to the new drive. If there isn't space then you're talking about adding in another box (rather less cheap) or transferring the data from old to new - slow and the accountants won't be happy about writing off the old one. I don't know the situation in the Wintel world, but I did this with Macintosh and Unix systems. I've also always been able to reuse the old box for different purposes. To stay on topic with Zope: You don't have to retire the old system, instead you could use ZEO... =:- In addition you have to worry about the cost of the time taken to perform any of the above. Yes, but you also have to consider the opportunity cost. It's not exactly a productive use of the time of your highly paid developers to think about things like adhering to disk quotas.

Depending on how it si set up, your logs may be in youir directory,and counting against your quota. -- Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are easy to annoy, and have the root password. ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

If all python files have been compiled, you can remove the sources.
Here's a command that should do it all at once. :-)
rm `find . -name '*.py' -exec test -e {}c \; -print`
