Interesting. Note that python bindings are probably the single biggest resource consumer. The bindings were not enabled until 4.5.1, so I will ignore data before that version. Looking at i386, we see disk usage increase from 24GB to 30 GB (25%) over 4 versions / 1.5 years. However, it's not certain that all these versions are strictly comparable; some of the increase might be due to enabling additional wrapping items as we go. The amd64 page provides only one data point (42 GB for version 4.6.0-3+b2) because the other post-4.5.1 builds are failures. Comparing with the i386 build for the same version indicates amd64 uses roughly 60% more space. > Do you intend to keep growing at the current rate? I'm merely the maintainer, so I don't form intentions regarding build resources. We do have some control over what wrappings are enabled and perhaps we were overzealous with wrapping for 4-dimensional images (see #759794). We'll likely turn this off but I don't know how much disk it will save. > Do you have an estimate of what we can expect the next few years? My best guess is to use the past history of 25% growth in 1.5 years. Best regards, -Steve
