Where are we wrt quotas? Would the use of symlink be possible ? It would allow to have a parallel directory structure for the source/binaries and for the docs, linking from the source/binaries directories to the matching documentation, saving a lot of disk space. Don't known if it is technically feasible in Savannah though...
I tried symlink through the sftp interface (symlink or ln sftp(1) command) ftp address@hidden:/releases/tsp Connecting to dl.sv.nongnu.org... Changing to: /releases/tsp sftp> ln tsp-0.8.2-Source.tar.gz tsp-LATEST-Source.tar.gz sftp> quit mainly for trying to establish something like: tsp-LATEST-Source.tgz ---> tsp-0.8.2-Source.tar.gz nevertheless I'm not sure it does a "real" symlink on remote file systems since http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/tsp/ makes it appear like regular file. It may be a real symlink since date, size and time are precisely those of tsp-0.8.2-Source.tar.gz. But I really don't wether it saves disk space or not... I'll bet it should really be a symlink since: sftp> ls -l tsp-*-Source.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 0 103 65534 3148519 Oct 19 23:51 tsp-0.8.1-Source.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 0 67824 3698 3203786 Nov 29 09:37 tsp-0.8.2-Source.tar.gz lrwxrwxrwx 0 67824 3698 23 Feb 12 20:47 tsp-LATEST-Source.tar.gz sftp> I'll ask Savannah Hackers for this in order to be sure. But this is a good idea to save space you are right. Thanks for the idea -- Erk
