Hi,

I've filled this bugzilla: [0] and I clearly remember seeing a failed build in koschei - I've even linked it in the BZ [1].

Yet the URL now returns 404.

Last build in koschei for python3 is 3 days older than the bugreport.

What happens? Are certain builds deleted for various reasons? Or are we loosing some data by accident?

The corresponding task is https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=28608653

This task was cancelled by Koschei itself and removed from database because it was running longer than 48 hours. Koschei does this to prevent stalled builds from blocking build queue and wasting resources.

I would found it less confusiong if they are kept in the DB but marked them "stalled -> canceled"? For example here at least one architecture failed and even the fact that the build was stalled is interesting.

Consider this a RFE for not caneling->deleting stalled builds, but canceling->keeping (marked as stalled/canceled).

Thank you.
