I have no opinion about whether longer than 8 weeks is ok for autopkgtest result retention. But it seems alarming to me that we would have out-of-archive development branches lasting 2 months. The support for running autopkgtests for ppas exists to facilitate Ubuntu development, for things not yet landed in the main archive. It certainly shouldn't be used for long-lived PPAs whose contents are not targeted for inclusion in Ubuntu. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
