And indeed, we have many! We produce weekly snaphots, and daily patches, I believe. As far as I can tell, the scripts are supposed to delete old snapshots, only keeping a certain number of every kind (numbers depend on the type of file - for instance we keep more daily diffs than we keep weekly tarballs). I believe that the scripts do not delete old snapshots after we increment the version number, so old snapshots have been accumulating: - HEAD snapshots: 1.2GB with ~230 files; - branch snapshots: 3.6GB with ~630 files. (we have snapshots dating back to 6.3) I am going to do some cleanup, but how far back do we want to keep? Thanks, -- Joel
