Description Belen Barros Pena 2013-06-07 10:52:55 UTC

I want to delete information stored for a certain build(s). 

The minimum unit of deletion is a build (I can not delete part of the information for a single build), and it was also suggested to provide date-based deletion (delete data for builds started / completed between this day and this day). 

The question was raised of what's deleted: the information in the database only, or the build output as well? No conclusive answer yet.

The ugly workaround is to erase and recreate the database.

Comment 2 Belen Barros Pena 2014-02-19 17:39:02 UTC

Alex has suggested to add a command to Django through manage.py to avoid any security issues (the GUI has no authentication built in).

Comment 3 Alexandru Damian 2014-02-19 18:36:45 UTC

This should be solved with a bldviewer command addition for manage.py:

- listbuilds :should get a user-readable tabbed list of build ids and identification information
- deletebuild id  :should delete the build with the specified id AND ALL related information (traversing the ForeignKey relationships recursively) from the database.

This was merged sometime

Comment 5 Belen Barros Pena 2014-03-19 16:45:41 UTC

mmm, maybe I spoke too soon. Running 

./manage.py buildslist 

returns an error saying

DatabaseError: no such table: orm_build

This is on master:ac4ff568f5b2ad4f50a1b7b60797e7b797c314bb

Scott has already provided the content relevant to this issue, which will be published in the Yocto Project wiki for 1.6 release.

Comment 7 Belen Barros Pena 2014-03-26 11:08:40 UTC

my bad: this is working, but if you are using the standard configuration you need to issue the commands from the /poky/build directory.
