Hi, I have been looking at optimizing the disk usage of the generated lintian.d.o website. This optimization is (among other) to reduce the upload time for deploying a new version of the website. My initial tweak have removed 20% of the disk size[1].
However, we are now at the point where the "uncompressed" lintian.log accounts for 25% of the entire website. There is a gz-compressed variant, which has been around for years and is roughly 1:20 in size compared to the uncompressed one. Please migrate any usage of "https://lintian.debian.org/lintian.log" to "https://lintian.debian.org/lintian.log.gz" (and update the code to decompress as necessary). I intend to remove the uncompressed variant in 14 days from now, if I do not hear a compelling reason for deferring it.
