Hi,
Are there any good reasons to keep milestone repos, release candidate
repos and repos that were replaced with a respin around for an extended
time (or forever)?
@Jonah: A similar question could be asked for the retention time of EPP
milestone and release candidates _repos_.
This should not concern the EPP artifacts for milestones and release
candidates on the download website. I think there are good reasons to
keep the EPP packages around.
E.g. the 2018-09 SimRel release contains seven p2 repos (M1, M2, M3,
RC1, RC2, and two respins). Only the final release (the last respin) is
relevant AFAICT. This would save 10-15GB disk space per release
depending on the number of respins.
I'd propose that all repos of a release (e.g. 2021-06) are kept until
the next final release (e.g. 2021-09) has dropped. Everything except the
final release repo (of 2021-06) will then be removed. This would set the
retention time to roughly three months.
WDYT?
+1. Keeping M* and RC* builds is pointless past GA.
Regards,
Fred
