Dear developers, I was able to identify and exploit another saving potential: The repository clones for the various Jenkins jobs.
I played around with the "Saros_Whiteboard" job. Normally, its workspace consists of a Git clone (roughly 270 MByte) and a working copy (over 100 MByte, including class files and copied jars from other projects). Both can be dramatically reduced: * First, over 50 MByte of the working copy stem from the "misc" project, which I recently removed from the source code repository (see [1]). * Second, there is no need for a complete Git clone; a so-called "shallow clone" (no history, just the recent commit) is sufficient for building and testing every project. So after wiping out the projects workspace and triggering a new build, Jenkins will fetch only the most recent commit from Gerrit's repo (thus including the "misc" removal and its savings), and the size of the "Saros_Whiteboard" job is expected to drop from nearly 400 MByte to mere 130 MByte or so. I'll perform these changes to all other similar projects (we have quite a few) to free up more space. Franz [1] http://saros-build.imp.fu-berlin.de/gerrit/1262 PS: There are three folders under "/home/administrator/" named ".jenkins", ".hudson", and "hfreyther" with a total of 1.6 GByte. I took a quick look and am pretty sure they are of no use anymore. I'd appreciate if someone could second this. -----Original Message----- From: Arsenij E Solovjev [mailto:xeper...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2013 12:07 PM To: dpp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [DPP-Devel] Issues with Saros-Build Hello everybody, The Jenkins Job that used up so much disk space was a weekly backup plugin. If no one has any objections, I will configure the plugin to only save the configuration of the jobs and not to backup the build results (which was the main reason for disk space usage) BR, Arsenij ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.
