Intend to remove lintian.log from lintian.d.o (please migrate to the .gz variant)
Hi,
I have been looking at optimizing the disk usage of the generated
lintian.d.o website. This optimization is (among other) to reduce the
upload time for deploying a new version of the website. My initial
tweak have removed 20% of the disk size[1].
However, we are now at the point where the "uncompressed" lintian.log
accounts for 25% of the entire website. There is a gz-compressed
variant, which has been around for years and is roughly 1:20 in size
compared to the uncompressed one.
Please migrate any usage of "https://lintian.debian.org/lintian.log" to
"https://lintian.debian.org/lintian.log.gz" (and update the code to
decompress as necessary).
I intend to remove the uncompressed variant in 14 days from now, if I do
not hear a compelling reason for deferring it.
Thanks,
~Niels
