For the size question, and using Michał Masłowski's proposal (i.e., the
size of the BZ2 tarballs), here is the result when only the major versions
are considered (e.g., 3.5 but not 3.5.4):
# Version Linux Linux-libre absolute-removal relative-removal

The sizes are in kB.
Here is the script I wrote (you need to install 'curl'):
#!/bin/sh
TMP=`mktemp -t linux-libre-removal.sh.XXXXXX`
trap "rm $TMP* 2>/dev/null" 0
for nb in `seq 27 39`
do
echo -n "2.6.$nb " >> $TMP
curl -sI
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.$nb.tar.bz2 | fgrep
Length | cut -d ' ' -f 2 >> $TMP
curl -sI
http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/2.6.$nb-gnu/linux-libre-2.6.$nb-gnu.tar.bz2
| fgrep Length | cut -d ' ' -f 2 >> $TMP.libre
done
for nb in `seq 5`
do
echo -n "3.$nb " >> $TMP
curl -sI https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.$nb.tar.bz2
| fgrep Length | cut -d ' ' -f 2 >> $TMP
curl -sI
http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/3.$nb-gnu/linux-libre-3.$nb-gnu.tar.bz2
| fgrep Length | cut -d ' ' -f 2 >> $TMP.libre
done
echo "# Version Linux Linux-libre absolute-removal relative-removal"
paste -d ' ' $TMP $TMP.libre | awk '{ $2 /= 1024; $3 /= 1024; removal = $2 -
$3; print $1, $2, $3, removal, removal * 100 / $2 "%" }'
Please guys, stop asking questions that make me want to write a script... I
cannot resist! :-)
