Is there (still) no possibility to delete old revisions of documents (via GUI or

If I have to do it by hand: is it enough to delete *.bak files and their
corresponding entries in the *.rcml file?
Thanks for any hints :-)

That's pretty much what you need to do. You can reduce the number of
versions kept around. From my experience, you don't actually have to
clean up the .rcml file. It will take care of that without throwing an
error.

This sounds promising, so I experimented a little bit. I did the following:
- identified the UUID of a document under Site / Overview
(document has 53 revisions)
- stopped Lenya
- deleted the oldest 42 revisions from content/authoring/<UUID>
- started Lenya
- navigated to Site / Revisions of the document
- the tab still shows 53 revisions
- click "View revision" on the topmost line (revision 53)
--> document opens (ok)
- click "View revision" on revision 40 (has been deleted)
--> got error: Could not read resource
cocoon://modules/xhtml/xhtml.xml/<pubname>/authoring/<UUID>/de"
(which is no surprise :-)
What do I have to do to trigger the automatic .rcml cleanup? Lenya version is
2.0.4.
Thanks!

For what I was doing, I never really worried about it, or just let it
roll off by itself.
My primary reason for deleting old revisions prior to them expiring was
the number of times binary data creates a new revision before it ends up
in Live. We had a bunch of teachers uploading 8 MB photos that ended up
replicating themselves at least 4 times on the system by the time it got
to Live, and chewing up the disk space. So I just deleted the first
revisions to free up disk. I did that with the system running.
I guess it kind of depends on what your usecase for doing this is.
