This has just become a pressing issue because of the attached
notice. We have over 5GB of build logs in ~sebor/public_html
going as far back as June 2007.
I have a question in to Tony about size limits in /www and
under HOME to help us decide what is the better location to
store this data and what we should delete. My thinking is
that we want to keep the full set of results for each branch
in active development going all the way back to the most
recent release. For each release, we want to keep logs for
the final release candidate. The question is, what do we do
for trunk? I'm pretty sure it's not feasible to keep all the
logs between the last major release (that'd be years).

I'd like to get STDCXX-682 (move build result pages from ~sebor
to the stdcxx site) resolved and I'm wondering if the directory
structure I set up for our build results is what we want under
stdcxx.
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-682
The directory tree with stdcxx nightly build results rooted
at http://people.apache.org/~sebor currently looks like this:
stdcxx{,-4.2.0,-4.2.1}{,-rc-*}/
|
+-- results/index.html
| |
| +-- builds/
| | |
| | +-- index.html --> ../builds.html
| | +-- <xbuild-pages>.html
| +-- builds.html
| +-- <build-logs>-log.gz.txt
| +-- <config-headers>-cfg-h.gz.txt
| +-- <config-logs>-cfg-l.gz.txt
+-- <rc-tarballs>.tar.gz
+-- other files of general interest
Is this the directory layout that we want somewhere under
http://stdcxx.apache.org/ (and what should the name of the
directory be) or do we want to make some tweaks?
Btw., the stdcxx site gets updated (published) less frequently
than our home directories, so when published there, our nightly
results will appear only after a delay. I'm not sure what the
delay is but it could be as much as an hour. I don't think it
should be a big concern for us if we publish them just once
a day but I thought I'd mention it just the same.
Let me know your thoughts.

G'day folks,
I am going through the process of rolling out a new backup server, and
as a result I have discovered that several people have extremely large
home folders. I will be individually emailing those people this week,
to ask them to reduce their usage.
However, I would like to ask you ask you all to review what you
currently store in youre home folder, in particular in your
/public_html/ folder as this this externally available to anyone and
everyone. I kow some folks use their public_html folder for testing of
RCs before a release etc, but these need to be tidied away as soon as is
possible.
As part of the backups of user data on Minotaur, if the data cannot be
read by user 'apmail' then these files will not be backed up. If you
want to make sure your data is backed up, then either make sure that the
files are world readable (there are obvious downsides to this) or make
sure that the group is set to apmail.
Cheers,
--Tony
