Обсуждение: Trimming the snapshots
Hi Raphael I've been sorting out the snapshots directory on the new developer.pgadmin.org box and have kindof hit a brick wall with the Debian stuff because I don't know what can and can't be removed. What I'd like to do is remove all pre-1.3.0 snapshots as these are effectively outdated by 1.2.x (as well as versions of wx now everything runs with the stock version), and then implement automatic deletion of all but the 5 newest snapshots. For the src, win32, slackware and osx directories I'm using a script I knocked up to do this automatically, eg: /usr/local/bin/cull "/var/www/developer.pgadmin.org/snapshots/linux/slackware/pgadmin3-*.tgz " 5 will delete all but the 5 newest files matching the pattern specified. Is it feasible to do something like this in the debian hierarchy, or is extra work required? What do you suggest? Thanks, Dave.

What do you suggest? Debian stuff must be indexed in some files (Release, Packages.gz,...) so that it becomes available with apt. Currently, the stuff available on developer.pgadmin.org is totally out of date and the prefered version to use is the one in the Official Debian archive. I'm really sorry about this situation but, as you know, I really lack free time. If all of this can wait a bit, I'll try to do some cleaning in the next days. If it can't, I'd suggest you remove all the stuff but we might hear (rightly unhappy) users crying around here. If you want to be able to handle all the indexing by yourself (at least for the snapshots), I could try to install the required Debian stuff on developer.pgadmin.org (this is only perl scripts if I remember well). What do you think about it ? Regards, Raphaël

Presumably they will cry because their systems will be checking automatically for updates, and not because the old versionsare no longer there? If it's just the latter, then I have no problem removing it. If the former, then yes, I guessit should be properly cleared out. > If you want to be able to handle all the indexing by yourself > (at least > for the snapshots), I could try to install the required > Debian stuff on > developer.pgadmin.org (this is only perl scripts if I remember well). > What do you think about it ? Yes, we could do that. Does it just build indexes based on the files it finds? If so, then we could just rebuild the indexesafter you upload anything, or a cleanup script runs. Regards, Dave.

If it's just the latter, then I have no problem removing it. If the former, then yes, I guessit should be properly cleared out. Yes, their systems will be checking for something not existant anymore and in contradiction with the website documentation. So, let's wait a bit until I clean all that mess please :) >>If you want to be able to handle all the indexing by yourself >>(at least >>for the snapshots), I could try to install the required >>Debian stuff on >>developer.pgadmin.org (this is only perl scripts if I remember well). >>What do you think about it ? > > > Yes, we could do that. Does it just build indexes based on the files it finds? If so, then we could just rebuild the indexesafter you upload anything, or a cleanup script runs. Yup, it scans directories and extract the desired informations from the files it finds. Ok, so I have now a new todo list: a) build current pga3 now that Andreas gave me the power hint to kill the wx build failure b) do some cleaning c) work on developer.p.o to get Debian tools working on slack I'm falling back to point 'a' for now :) Cheers, Raphaël
