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 ...
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.
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.
