Can I edit the file "todo"? I encountered a lot of "no longer exists on PyPI"

[dajianderichang]

I have synchronized 13 terabytes of data, and I restarted the bandersnatch service due to configuration changes. A large number of "no longer exists on PyPI" messages are displayed in the startup log. The synchronization of new packages starts about 50 minutes later.

I would like to remove these "no longer exists on PyPI" packages from todo, or is there a better way that doesn't require waiting 50 minutes.

Thanks.

And just worried that the wrong operation will erase the 13TB data

Bandersnatch doesn't have the ability to delete any of your downloaded artifacts unless your run a bandersnatch verify --delete

So deleting / editing the TODO file should be fine. It's also fine to just delete the file as we should rerun from the serial you last successfully synced from.

• bandersnatch mirror --force-check also does the remove of the file for you
