Hi all, For some time now it has been known to me that the system for generating application documentation websites using Sphinx with l10n support has had issues with duplicating data - particularly images.
That leads to the following outcome, where aside from sites that we expect to be quite large (like www.kde.org and api.kde.org) all of the application documentation sites are quite big as well: root@nicoda /srv/www # du -h --max-depth=1 ./generated/ | grep G 2.3G ./generated/cutehmi.kde.org 3.7G ./generated/docs.digikam.org 2.4G ./generated/api.kde.org 2.3G ./generated/docs.krita.org 1.4G ./generated/www.kde.org 7.9G ./generated/docs.kdenlive.org 29G ./generated/ This stands in comparison to the Docbook documentation site for all other KDE applications: root@nicoda /srv/www # du -h --max-depth=1 . | grep G 29G ./generated 16G ./api.kde.org-legacy 6.0G ./docs.kde.org 51G . It would be nice if we could please look into some fixes for this, as it looks like Sphinx is duplicating the images - once for every language - when that isn't necessary. I could understand if the screenshots were updated as part of the translation, but it looks like they're not in the majority of cases - below being just a sample: root@nicoda /srv/www/generated/docs.krita.org # sha256sum zh_CN/_images/Krita_cpb_mixing.gif 12eb4cbad29a5a6486d3438dabb888a0aa0b9579e55b3be2f3c1d6e1d76fc1d7 zh_CN/_images/Krita_cpb_mixing.gif root@nicoda /srv/www/generated/docs.krita.org # sha256sum en/_images/Krita_cpb_mixing.gif 12eb4cbad29a5a6486d3438dabb888a0aa0b9579e55b3be2f3c1d6e1d76fc1d7 en/_images/Krita_cpb_mixing.gif While this isn't a massive issue right now, it is a future scalability issue as for Krita at least each language costs 178MB or so, while for Digikam that sits at 415MB per language and Kdenlive is 392MB. Many thanks, Ben
