In Copr build system, we noticed that Fedora rawhide chroots can became large and they stay forever as rawhide is never
EOLed.
We plan to work on this soon, but we are not sure what is best approach. I want to ask you - the users of Copr - what
will be convenient for you?
The problem is described here https://github.com/fedora-copr/copr/issues/2933
tl;dr version is:
* when you build into fedora-39 chroot then the chroot is one day declared as EOLed and if you did not act, then the
chroot from the project is deleted and we reclaim the storage space.
* when you build into rawhide chroot, then we keep last builds. Even if you do not submit to this project anything for
years, we still keep this chroot. And such chroots can occupy gigabytes of storage.
The problem is that builds in the rawhide can be packaged configs, and they can be still usable despite the fact that no
one rebuilds the RPM for years. Or it can be forgotten build that is not even installable in current chroot. We do not
know. And testing installability of package regularly will be expensive task.
What **you** would find as acceptable policy for pruning rawhide chroots?
