Dry Run Retention Policy Set--not seeing output



  • We have a production and test server hosting ProGet for our company (paid).

    We are trying to implement a retention policy in Test and then Prod when ready. I have tried this in dry run mode and outside dry run mode with no results.

    The Rule set up is:
    Delete cached connector packages
    Delete old versions (all except latest 30 versions)

    When I go and check the Executions section for the feed cleanup log, it outputs:

    Beginning cleanup for Octopus (NuGet) feed.
    Starting feed retention check...
    Checking for feed retention rules...
    Feed has 1 retention rule.
    Checking rule 1...
    Only delete cached packages.
    Never delete the most recent 30 versions of packages.
    Finding packages that match retention rule 1...
    Getting count of matching packages...
    0 packages qualify for deletion under this rule.
    Deleting matching packages...
    Dry run mode is set; nothing will actually be deleted.
    Deleted 0 packages (0 KB total).
    Done checking rule 1.
    Feed retention check completed.
    Cleanup complete.

    However, there are packages with 30+ versions in this feed that have not been deleted or shown to be deleted in dry run.

    Can you assist?

    Product: ProGet
    Version: 5.1.4



  • Keep in mind that retention rules work on an AND basis, so when you select:

    • Delete cached connector packages
    • Delete old versions (all except latest 30 versions)

    You get only packages that match BOTH of those rules:

    • Only delete cached packages.
    • Never delete the most recent 30 versions of packages.

    I'm guessing that your packages don't match BOTH those rules;
