.. _maintaining_distgit: DistGit VM maintenance ====================== The Copr DistGit machine serves as a "proxy" middle-man between the actual source code location and our farm of builders. See :ref:`architecture` for more info. There's no data-consistency promise regarding Copr's DistGit data; our primary goal is to ensure effective Copr Builds. Consequently, we only strive to keep the "proxy" sources for the **existing packages** within still **existing Copr projects**. Cleaning up DistGit ------------------- Copr is a place where CI is done frequently, leading to the generation of a significant amount of "source" data. Often, each CI build produces a different tarball that is uploaded and stored on the Copr DistGit machine. Copr projects are also often short-lived (e.g., Packit). This necessitates Copr to conduct regular DistGit cleanup to prevent the source data consumption from quickly exploding. Currently, we have two house-cleaning procedures for DistGit: 1. `Cleaning up sources for outdated builds `_ 2. `Cleaning up old repositories and sources for deleted Copr projects `_ Both of these procedures are not enabled "by default" on every Copr deployment. However, Fedora Copr has automated these scripts using cron.
