Thread: Size of TODO.detail
pgsql/docs/TODO.detail now is 1.1MB. I just removed 'subquery' which shrunk it from 1.5MB. Comments? -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

Of course, that's alot of space. What to do? Remove all the unnecessary e-mail headers? Signatures? etc? excessive quotes? Isn't there a e-mail header stripping utility around that can un-header things, leaving some but not all? Want me to edit some in my spare time? According to some grepping and counting, Received: lines alone are taking up 180K, or thereabouts. And that's just the first line, as most Received: headers are multiline. After adding up all the other X- headers, I'm sure we could trim that down further. It can also be compressed, if we want. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11

I just tried 'printmail' that strips off most of the unused stuff: From: Bruce Momjian <pgman@candle.pha.pa.us>Subject: [HACKERS] Fix for RENAMETo: PostgreSQL-development <pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org>Date:Sun, 12 Mar 2000 22:59:56 -0500 (EST) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- #$ printmail tablespaces >/bjm/x#$ l /bjm/x-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 328855 Jan 30 12:16 /bjm/x#$ l tablespaces -rw-r--r-- 1 postgres wheel 495730 Jan 19 00:09 tablespaces --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Doesn't seem like it saves enough, and it will prevent people from reading the mailbox in their mail readers. Compress takes it to 100k, which is much smaller. Of course, the tar file has it compress too, so pre-compressing it doesn't buy us anything. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000+ If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania19026

Worth a try, at least. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
