How may I remove packages that are already published and show up in the repositores/home:/… directory publicly?

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. However, I am speaking about the build service.

I should have been clearer - I mean, when I create a package with a build client (web client or ‘osc’); and it gets published to Index of /repositories/home: for anyone to download; I then want to remove that package because of errors - or any number of reasons. How do I do this?

Thanks,
g

see

# osc help wipebinaries

for instructions how to do that.

osc wipebinaries

I don’t know why I didn’t see that before…

Worked great. Thanks.

hmm… not sure if I’m running the wipebinaries command incorrectly (I’ve tried a few different iterations/configurations), but it doesn’t seem to push these changes out to the published repos (Index of /repositories/home:… ) for me. It definitely wipes the binaries in the Project/Package home, but that doesn’t seem to get immediately pushed to the external published repositories.

Anyone have thoughts on whether this is user error - or are the external repos updated on a schedule??

Thanks,

Todd
