Disk space consumption #5

Open xilouris opened 8 years ago

xilouris commented 8 years ago

Automatic generation of PDF and upload at the wiki without deletion of the previous versions of the documents takes up a lot of disk space. As the text based versions are already available, there is no need in keeping all the pdf versions (which sometimes contain very little changes overall).

@xilouris I checked the MediaWiki API docu and I couldn't find a way to remotely delete old PDFs. Maybe we can create a workarround by installing a cron job on the wiki server which deletes old PDF files?
