Ran baobab today and found that gwibber was using about 30GB of space in my home dir!
~$ ls -sh ~/.local/share/desktop-couch/.gwibber_messages_design/ total 26G 13M 0526a2ae236cc99c2b84d33f1be6cea1.view 2.7G 2f3267703246f5e02533e59714915b7d.view 24G 8873a749eadc0dee755b5fdfdc59c0a1.view Is this really necessary? How long does gwibber save data? Is there a way to turn down the history saving? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gwibber in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539275 Title: gwibber_messages couchdb views use more disk space than needed Status in Gwibber: Invalid Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gwibber” source package in Lucid: Triaged Status in “gwibber” package in Debian: Invalid Bug description: A lot of the views in the gwibber_messages couchdb database emit doc as the value. This is unnecessary, as any view can me made to return the document in its rows by calling it with the parameter include_docs=true, and I believe it wastes a lot of disk space, as the views are stored in their entirety. On my machine, with somewhere around 50K messages in gwibber, the database (after compaction) takes 78MB, whereas the views for it take over 1GB. I have started work on a branch that fixes this, which should be pretty small, but it's a little more work than I expected, absent any kind of tests. I'll try to add tests for the changes I make at least. (Another space saver is to use much shorter document ids. It looks like gwibber generates its own ids, so I'd suggest encoding the uuids to base64 to use less bytes or something. Obviously I'm polluting my own bug here, I just wanted to make note of it somewhere in case I forget to follow up on it.)
