I like the plan as outlined.  Please let us know if we can help. As I think this ticket is now handled sufficiently I am going to close it. But please keep in contact! We love to help. Let us know if we can help!

Savannah and almost all servers really have been getting hammered by a very large botnet. Most recently it has been getting turned on and off. I presume the operator is attacking other sites when not attacking us.  I don't know. Who can know the psychopathic tendencies of attack botnet operators?

We are doing things behind the scenes and on stage to mitigate these attacks. There is only so much one can do when getting hit with a 5 million address strong botnet. Things are going to be forced to be changed in order to improve things. I have not announced anything but behind the scenes various changes are being prototyped.

Greetings!  Sounds like a plan, will implement.  BTW, git server appears down now, I assume that is temporary....

The 5GB of releases would most naturally go into the release area.  And the patch files too seem natural too.  That reduces the remaining documentation to 1GB and that seems much more reasonable.

Note that just as a technical issue the /tmp is a 1GB in size tmpfs on that system.  That's probably going to be a single commit size limitation.  But I could upload the files directly if that needed to be bypassed.

Greetings, and thanks so much!  5G are old source and binary release tarballs.  Perhaps these could go elsewhere.  Another 1G are source patch files.  These also might be more efficiently referenced, e.g. via git.

The entirety of all of the cvs web data 29GB in size.  7GB would be 24% of all of the rest of the web data in total.

The Emacs project is a fairly large and mature project and it consumes 1.9GB for all of its web archive.

Saying that AXIOM needs 7GB of web space feels excessive.  That's bigger than some photo albums in size.  Importing it would consume 18% of the remaining available space which is shared with the other projects.

I will note that The Internet Archive has captured the historical site.

Perhaps we could start the discussion by asking what makes the AXIOM web site so very large in size?

Greetings!  The principal author of AXIOM has recently retired, and his webpage of the last 26 years has gone offline.  He has sent me a copy of the last date (12/31/2024), and has agreed for me to post it here at savannah as a permanent marker for the last state of development under his leadership.  The site is large, about 7G, and the cvs server is reporting out of disk space on 'cvs status'.  I could prune the site if necessary.  What are the disk limitations I need to work with?  Can savannah accommodate the entire website?
