openSUSE admin

Although I don't have privileges on pontifex2, I'd expect there's some way to mark those images and links as deprecated in order to delete them, and so that the deletion propagates to mirrors.

Let's see what others have to say.

pontifex is really only doing what it is told, i.e. publishing whatever is being pushed from build service.

That's good to know. A concern I have had in the past, but haven't looked at it closer, is when we disable the build flag of a package (and even perhaps of a project). Without manually wiping the built binaries, they will hang in the repositories who knows for how long. But I don't think this has much to do with the issue at hand here, so I'm diverging.

I also like to point out that something is still recreating those links:

It sounds like it is very much what is happening here. Binaries come out of OBS only when they are built in a project, and when very old ones come out this is quite plausible explanation.

I'm not sure about that, actually. I'm confident of what I said, about packages in projects other than openSUSE:Factory -- or openSUSE:Leap*, or SUSE:SLE*, etc -- where they have the release flag activated in OBS, so they are taken care of by the publisher. Tumbleweed snapshots and ISO images are different because they are tested first, before something else publish them. I hope someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

Correcting myself. openSUSE:Factory/standard gets published normally.
