Currently logs of failed builds are kept for 14 days. Currently we are hitting a very nasty hard limit on our koji storage, so I definitely wouldn't want to change this now, but we could perhaps look at doing so after that problem is less pressing. Currently the koji 'work' directory (where failed builds/logs are) is taking up about 6TB. > At the very least, the 'latest' failure logs should be retained for much > longer. Thats not something thats easy to determine. The script that deletes failed builds is just a one liner find from cron. In order to know what the 'latest' failure is it would have to do a lot of koji api calls and figure out whats deleteable. kevin
