Keep N versions of specified version pattern.

[andersson09]

Is it possible to keep N versions of the specified version pattern rather than any version.

Scenario:
I would like to delete both old release and pre-release packages. However, with the current set-up there is a possibility of losing either all release or all pre-release packages. This would mainly be used for private packages.

Thanks!

If you use a consistent versioning scheme for both types of packages, this should be possible. If you set the version-pattern option, only versions matching that will be considered for deletion.

Let's say your release versions look like "1.2.3" and your pre-release versions look like "1.2.3-alpha1".

Delete old release versions:

- name: Delete release versions
  uses: smartsquaregmbh/[email protected]
  with:
    version-pattern: "^\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+$"
    names: |
      your-package

Delete old pre-release version:

- name: Delete RC versions
  uses: smartsquaregmbh/[email protected]
  with:
    version-pattern: "^\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+-alpha\\d+$"
    names: |
      your-package

I recommend trying these with dry-run: true to see what would be deleted in the logs.

I have a similar setup. The problem I have is that I want to keep the 3 latest pre-release and the 3 latest release, so 6 packages in total. Example:

I have 3 pre-release packages of A.
I have 3 release packages of A.
I run the 'Delete release versions' keep: 3

It will delete all 3 release versions since there are already 3 pre-release versions. The keep 3 is ignoring the version-pattern.
