Bug#710813: lintian: Restructure the laboratory/data storage
Package: lintian
Severity: important
During the current full run, lintian.d.o ran out of inodes (1.9M). At
the moment, I have disabled experimental which I hope will work around
the problem for now.
Peter Palfrader (weasel) and I had a chat in #debian-admin about this.
It is my understanding that our current approach is not suitable, even
if we have improved a couple of things.
Peter asked if we could move some of this data into a database? I
thinking that things like index and file-info should fit quite nicely
into a database (and with minimal effort too due to the L::Collect
indirection).
Personally, I think the "strings/" dir is (also?) something we should
look at fairly soon. Currently it costs us 1 inode per elf binary in
the package (plus some per dir needed to replicate the package layout
for these elf binaries). We may even have to give up on keeping
"debfiles/" extracted as well.
