Re: [ros-dev] Definite Decision about ISO lifetimes at iso.reactos.org

[Colin Finck]

Hi all!

While reviving our dedicated storage server today, I carried out my plan
about ISO lifetimes and removed old files.
MSVC builds, Release builds and Live-CDs are now removed if they are
older than half a year. For the first time, Regression Test ISOs are
also publicly downloadable at https://iso.reactos.org/bootcdregtest, but
they only last a week.

Fortunately, deleting only these types already freed more than half of
the used space. The remaining files are only 1.4TB in size.
Considering all the HDD space we want to add, there was no intention for
me to remove a single bootcd-dbg. Unless ReactOS suddenly tenfolds in
size, I think we can live without deleting them for a long time.

The storage server even has old ISOs down to r44397, so have fun
regress-testing each and every bug ;)

Cheers,

Colin
