It would be very nice if you could set up automatic removal of all files except dead.package for repositories. Since rpm-specs-latest.tar.xz is not updated very often, I try to run grep on all git repositories, but unfortunately there are packages which are dead but still have spec file in there. I know that I could filter all such packages, but I think it would be better to clean them up anyway.
dead.package
rpm-specs-latest.tar.xz

I thought fedpkg retire does that for you automatically, doesn't it?
I try to run grep on all git repositories
How did you able to do that?
It does, but as far as I understood it seems some of the branches have both spec and dead.package files. Not sure how that happened.
Not sure how that happened.
If the packagers added the dead.package file manually instead of using fedpkg retire would be one way to have that.
fedpkg retire
I have clone of all git repos locally…
@ausil and @mohanboddu this seems to me like a clean up task and should probably get prioritized into our Taiga instance as long term work.
Is that amenable? Then we can prioritize it and get it scheduled.
A request here is not appropriate, It should go to taiga, we will have to find development resources for it. @syeghiay can we please have this moved over. @ralph which team would be best to make the request of for development resources?
@mohanboddu reports that fedpkg retire does this.

Yes, fedpkg retire does this... But there are repos where it didn't happen. And this ticket is about cleaning them.
Please reopen.

Do you have a list of these repos? I suspect it's pretty rare and we could just clean the old ones up and only have to do it again rarely on demand...
The retire ftbfs script might have capture most of these retired packages. Closing as fixed.
