debian archive disk space requirements.

[jason andrade <jason@rtfmconsult.com>]

Hi,

I've noticed the growth in the debian archive with some concern
over the last few weeks/months.  We're now hitting the limit of
the partition that debian is on and it will be quite difficult
technically for us to deal with this in the short term.

We have some new storage which is being comissioned but it won't
be in place for about a month and the debian archive has already
filled up a 100G partition we've dedicated to it here (that doesn't
include the debian-cd or debian-non-US or other debian related
archives.. just the main debian one).

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place here as we have a large
dependency tree before we can move equipment over and get access
to the new disk..

Is there any way to reduce the size of the archive over the next
4-6 weeks ?

regards,
