Package: durep Version: 0.9-1 Severity: wishlist
durep takes an excessive amount of space to store its data files (.ds files). If you want to keep a few days of history plus monthly or yearly history prior to that, it can easily take gigabytes of storage. If durep supported gzipping (or otherwise compressing) the .ds files, with the cgi decompressing them on the fly, then this space usage would be greatly reduced. (In my tests, by a factor of 6 using default gzip options.) Other ways to reduce space usage for histories would be fine too, like only storing changes, however I think this is the easiest to implement. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.9 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages durep depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii perl 5.10.0-19lenny5 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages durep recommends: ii libmldbm-perl 2.01-2 Store multidimensional hash struct durep suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * durep/makereports: true * durep/filesystems: . -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
