[Spacewalk-list] DIsk usage and limiting number of instances of a package

Thu May 10 19:53:19 UTC 2018

Maybe a descent programmer (and I’m not that person) could modify the script to do what you ask.

Is there any way this can be modified to keep "n" number of obsoleted packages?  I have a scenario where we need to do cleanup on developer packages.. they may have for instance 100 versions of a package. We need to keep a certain number of those packages around in case of a rollback scenario, but we want to clean up the rest.

This works well for me:  https://github.com/00willo/spacewalk-scripts/blob/master/spacewalk-clean-old-packages.py .  I run it periodically via a cron job.

Hi,

I currently run a spacewalk server (v2.6) that is gradually using up all of its disk space.

Currently have repositories for:

32 and 64bit CentOS 6 (and updates)
CentOS 7 (and updates)
Dell updates
Backup software

Also had (but have since removed) EPEL for CentOS 6 and 7 as I suspected these were the guilty party in terms of using up a chunk of disk space in the first place.

Is there any way of limiting the amount of a instances of a specific package that are stored in a repository on spacewalk?

Using kernel as an example, we have 21 revisions of it in one repository and probably only need the 5 most recent (if that). Would we need to manually remove them or is there some way of telling spacewalk to remove all but the latest 5 revisions of a package and delete the rest?

Thanks,
Mark
