Package: qa.debian.org Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Hi, I was recently looking at the tracker page for e2fsprogs, and I noticed that there was the VFS watch error: "Failed to analyze the VCS repository. Please troubleshoot and fix the issue." Looking at this this page [1] the complaint seems to be: "Repository size 531054592 exceeds 500 MiB, blocking it". However, looking at the e2fsprogs git repo, the bare repo (just the git packs) is only 43 megs, and the checked out working tree is 41 megs. I'm not sure why the repo on VCS watch is over 500 MiB, but could it be that it's in deperate need of having a "git gc" being run on it? [1] https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/vcswatch?package=e2fsprogs Note, this isn't the first time this has come up. The last time I reported it to the debian-qa mailing list on July 25, 2024. Perhaps there needs to be an automated "git gc" run on the git clones of the repos which are used by vcswatch? Thanks, - Ted
