Hi,
I am testing the beta version of the 1.5 wiki in a very limited testing environment. Since disk space (and CPU and memory, and anything else) is at a premium in that environment, is there any easy way to remove all previous versions of all pages all at once? The pre 1.5 scripts won't work because of the schema redesign and I am not comfortable enough with either PHP or the schema to use the changes described in http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposed_Database_Schema_Changes/October_2004 to change those scripts.

We have a script to compress old revisions (back up your data first): ./maintenance/compressOld.php
That might help saving a bit of space.
OK, I thought (from looking through the code) that this script was only going to work for the pre 1.5 version database scheme.
