Definite Decision about ISO lifetimes at iso.reactos.org

[Colin Finck]

Hi all!

We used to remove any ISOs at https://iso.reactos.org that were older
than 2 years. Then some devs wanted access for a little longer and we
stopped deleting any. Now we recently ran out of space on that server...

Even though we are about to double our storage capacity, I want a
definite decision about the lifetime of ISOs at iso.reactos.org.
Something that serves us well over the next few years. Otherwise, we
will just run into the same problem again in the near future.

My proposal
===========
bootcd-dbg:          5 years
bootcd-dbg-msvc:     5 years
bootcd-rel:        0.5 years
bootcdregtest:       1 week
livecd-dbg:        0.5 years
livecd-dbg-msvc:   0.5 years
livecd-rel:        0.5 years

Having the DBG Boot-CDs up for 5 years should cover all reasonable
regression testing in my opinion.
I'm not that much into testing as you though, so if any of these
lifetimes are too short for you, please speak up now.

Otherwise, I'm going to implement this by next Wednesday, March 22.

Cheers,

Colin

Two devs told me on IRC that keeping MSVC ISOs for long is rather
useless, because they lack PDBs. I would change this 0.5 years as well then.

I recall though that people already came to me in the past and wanted me
to set up a PDB Server. Would you actually use this for the MSVC
Buildslave ISOs? How long should I keep MSVC ISOs and PDBs up in this case?

It's a shame we couldn't copy all the old ISOs to a single harddrive and keep it around somewhere. Btw, how much space are all the ISOs taking up right now? I do agree though we should start clearing up the server. It's rather tedious to scroll through the long lists.
