Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Retention time for SimRel releases 
Hi
When we were on a yearly cadence, the last two releases was two years which was kind of reasonable.
Now 2 years means 8 releases in order to accommodate the many users who don't change frequently. 2 releases is far too few.

Hi,

Since SimRel (and EPP) release bits are accessed a lot more (and usually
for a longer period of time) than other files, I think it makes sense to
keep more releases (e.g. the last 8) on download.eclipse.org and the
mirrors.

@Denis: can you confirm my assumption with any numbers? or are the
download numbers for releases older than the last two also insignificant
for SimRel and EPP releases?

Regards,

Fred

     Hi,

     On https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues/78
     ("Download.e.o size too big for mirrors"), Aleksandar Kurtakov pointed
     out, that a big chunk of disk space is taken by the content of the
     https://download.eclipse.org/releases folder.

     It currently contains all SimRel releases from "Europa" to 2021-12
     taking up ~100GB. As a first step the mirrors exclude list has been
     modified so all releases up to "Mars" are not mirrored.

     I'm planning to move all releases from "Europa" to 2019-12 to
     archive.eclipse.org <http://archive.eclipse.org> next week. So only
     the last 8 releases will stay on
     download.eclipse.org <http://download.eclipse.org>. I will add the
     task to move old releases to
     archive.eclipse.org <http://archive.eclipse.org> to the release
     check list
     https://wiki.eclipse.org/SimRel/Release_Checklist.

     Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.


In https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues/78 it's
written "download.e.o must only contain the last 2 releases. Older
releases must be moved to archives". IMHO it would be good if this is
either enforced that way for everything(!) or changed to some other
number (for which there is agreement it makes sense) and again enforced.


     Regards,

     Fred
