Purge Old Images from the appliances I Update? #834

Closed Da-Geek closed 8 months ago

Da-Geek commented 8 months ago

So, what is the deal with removing Old/Obsolete images from the .gns3a files?

For some of the appliances I have been updating, we have a list of older images that are no longer available, officially retired, or deprecated in some way.

When I am adding a New/Updated version of an Image, what is the position on those older ones, can/should I just remove then? Or what about adding a [OUTDATED] or [DEPRECATED] string to the old images? delete the Download URL?

What do we think, before I start deleting a Bunch of things the next time I update an appliance?

Yes please just delete officially retired or deprecated images.

Thanks 👍
