>                 Key: MRM-1458
>                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-1458
>             Project: Archiva
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: repository scanning
>    Affects Versions: 1.3.3
>         Environment: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4
>            Reporter: Markus Spann
>
> We work in a sort of agile way with (very) frequent releases. Our release repository currently has a file count of ~80,000 (total of jar, javadoc, and source artifacts).
> Most of these releases are actually obsolete and have long been superseded by more recent releases.
> To my knowledge there is not currently a way in Archiva to purge released artifacts (if not one by one or by manipulating the database/file system).
> The repository management screens in Archiva offer a (boolean) option to "Delete Released Snapshots". It would be very useful to have a repository purge options that applies to obsolete releases such as: "Keep only X most recent releases".
> Please note that despite large repository sizes we are encountering no noticeable performance issues (on an oldish x86 Red Hat Linux box). The feature will greatly improve usability of the Archiva Search and Browse functions.
