Package Retention #11323

Closed EvanCarroll closed 3 years ago

EvanCarroll commented 3 years ago

Currently OBS can only keep one package on the repos it creates. It would be nice if a server-administrator could set it to retain multiple packages. Say, the last $x packages.

you can have multiple versions if you build them in parallel in the project.

Hi,

could you clarify how to build two versions in parallel in a project? Or do you mean creating two separate packages?

hey @tacerus there is a vibrant community of developers, admins and users that support each other in their usage of the OBS. They meet online in a the OBS IRC chat (irc://irc.libera.chat/openSUSE-buildservice) or on the OBS mailing list). Here you can ask questions if you have trouble understanding something, you can seek advice and mingle with other OBS community members.
