Package: lintian Version: 2.5.73 Severity: normal Hi,
The maintainer reports (notably the "full" reports) quickly grows in size (disk space used) and without any bounds. At the moment, the lintian.d.o has a complete size usage of ~1GB - half of that is "full reports" - the second runner up is the uncompressed lintian.log (at 250MB), which will disappear soon. Individual reports have exploded and the top 10 ranges from ~7.5 to 30MB in raw HTML size[1]. These pages are so painful to low that it feels like the browser is about to croak on the load/pressure. I doubt anyone is reading these reports (I certainly would not at that scale). I think we need some better way to deal with these reports. My best idea to date is to extract the package reports into a separate report page and just link to them from the maintainer pages. However, that will make the maintainer pages rather useless/boring on their own (but at least they would probably be "loadable").
