Hello,

we got more than 6500 projects since the start of the opensuse.org Build Service instance (plus the projects which got removed again by their owners). These projects contain more than 13000 repositories, which get need to get in sync by our service.

This takes obviously resources on the server side and quite a number of these projects are not touched since a while. So I assume they are not needed anymore.

So I think it is a good idea to free the resources from these projects and give it to us active people :)

This will basically affect all projects, where no source changes happened since 1 year or more.

We have basically 961 "old projects" and further 2300 empty projects (no packages inside).

A FAQ and a full list of "old projects" can be found here. Please speak up, when you think this is no propper approach or if you want to support this :)

I think it'd make sense to send a mail to the maintainers of those projects before doing anything (and wait ~10 days).

Also, it'd probably be nice to move the data (source, not packages) to somewhere where it can be recovered, instead of just wiping it...

Sources will not get touched, just the project meta information (build flags and repositories in second step). So it can get enabled again by everybody easily again. I just found out that we have also 2308 empty projects, which contain still 1024 repositories. This leaves still directories and small meta file on the server, which should get removed. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

What about giving https://features.opensuse.org/306529 "Deactivate build if home:user:branch:foo is inactive for 1 or 2 weeksedit" attention/priority?

We want to implement something similar, but this is independend from the problem where people just stop to care about their projects. Just check my old project list, there are only very few (< 10) :branches projects inside atm. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Did "osc branch" already exist/was it advertized one year ago? :-)

Yes, OBS 1.0 got released in June 2009 (but functionality was available before). That was our initial "Factory is open" announcement. Okay, not that many were created immediatly ...

"Inactivity" should not be the only criteria, _link only projects should have a high importance in causing nag mails/deactivation.

I think some parts can obviously be cleaned up, like removing repositories of discontinued products

this happens usually, when I move a base distro to DISCONTINUED space.

or duplicate ones (at least one big repository builds SUSE_Linux_Factory and openSUSE_Factory for example).

erm, which one ?

Unfortunately I can not delete those repositories myself because there is at least one home:*:branch:* project building against it :(

yes, we need a force option for this ...

did we analyze which ones are still frequently accessed (downloaded)?

No, I didn't. In fact I think even when they are frequently downloaded, they should get resetled somewhere else, by someone who cares about. It just increases the risk of not seen security holes or different problems, when they are not maintained.

We have basically 961 "old projects" and further 2300 empty projects (no packages inside).

most of them appear to be home projects which are probably simply not used. do they have repositories if they don't have packages? those could easily be removed then, right?

Right, these are around 900 from 2300 empty projects again, which I will remove today.
