Bug#771766: debian-goodies: behavior problem with debmany when using -z zenity option.

[Kevin C.]

Package: debian-goodies
Version: 0.63
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

When using debmany -z somepackage  such as: debmany -z debian-goodies .
If double clicking a filename in the zenity dialog gives an error, but if
you first just select the filename and click ok it works. This
problem/annoyance seems to have started after an upgrade. I believe it used
to work fine. When double clicking for example dblob, the Error is this: 
/usr/bin/debmany: line 382: cd: /usr/share/man/man1/dglob.1.gz|/usr/share/man: 
No such file or directory

It seems zenity is returning a | delimited value, when double clicking the
filename and only returning the file when hitting ok.

To fix this I added this line: after line 360:
return=$(echo $return | cut -d\| -f2)

This seems to work for me, I don't if there are any other ill effects.
 
Thanks,
Kevin Compton

Bug#661728: durep: Excessive space usage - please compress files

[Kevin C]

Package: durep
Version: 0.9-1
Severity: wishlist


durep takes an excessive amount of space to store its data files (.ds files). 
If you want to keep a few days of history plus monthly or yearly history prior 
to that, it can easily take gigabytes of storage.

If durep supported gzipping (or otherwise compressing) the .ds files, with the 
cgi decompressing them on the fly, then this space usage would be greatly 
reduced. (In my tests, by a factor of 6 using default gzip options.)

Other ways to reduce space usage for histories would be fine too, like only 
storing changes, however I think this is the easiest to implement.
