Setup an automated deletion of old hidden ZIMs

[benoit74]

Should we automatically delete old hidden ZIMs in dev, custom_apps, endless?

I think that keeping the two last versions for custom_apps and endless is the proper way to go.

For dev I think we should not delete old ZIMs automatically, there are situation were it helps to be able to go back to an old ZIM.

In fact, I've posted my issue too fast. I think we should apply the same policy to all our books: https://wiki.openzim.org/wiki/ZIM_Updates#How_many_files_do_we_need_to_keep.3F

I'm not involved in content so my opinion may be completely off but using the same policy for both tested/verified/published ZIMs and ZIMs that are to-be-tested seems odd.

One point: For Android custom apps, there is a fallback system downloading the ZIM from there. Therefore, for the moment, please don't delete the ZIM for custom apps... but we should keep this issue open.

Do we really need to keep all versions of the custom apps ZIMs or are the custom apps using only the latest version? (there are many many many versions for some custom apps).

For the moment, "yes". Each release of a custom apps relies on one specific version of these files. Not only the latest.
