Proget/conda: is it possible to delete specific files (conda case: different builds of same version)?

e.rotteveel_1850

When I use the ProGet UI to go to the page of a specific version of a package, I can delete either that specific version or "all package versions".

However, with conda (and I guess with any package manager) you can have different builds of the same package version. This is not limited to different builds for different OS'es, but also different builds that each have slightly different dependencies**.

Does ProGet "understand" the idea of different builds for the same version of a package?

In ProGet UI, I can see a list of files per package, per version, but I don't see a way to just delete one of those files. Is this maybe possible via the API?

** about the example of dependencies: Let's say I have a package that needs the HDF5 library, but I want my package to be backwards compatible (even for latest updates). In that case, I could build my package for version 1.X and link it to different versions of the HDF5 lib, thus creating multiple builds with the same version, but a package manager on a users PC will select the proper build depending on the available HDF5 library.

Hi @e-rotteveel_1850 ,

ProGet doesn't currently support deleting individual "files" like this under a package, but it's something we can add for sure. The UI definitely seems to act "suboptimal" with some of these conda packages, but we'll fix it!

I suspect it is best for us to wait until ProGet 2023, since we're doing a big data model changes. I'm going to keep this "open" internally, along with the "constrains" request you made earlier (https://forums.inedo.com/post/13876) :)

Cheers,

Thanks for your reply! For these features, we'll wait for the new version. I saw on a blog page that you expect a release in Q2 (maybe Q3). Is that still the planning?

Hi @e-rotteveel_1850 , sorry I missed the notification on this b/c of how I categorized this.

Yes.. Q2 (late April for now) is the current plan, though this is something we would likely do after the main release.
