[Discuss] Introduce different package distributions
ruflin opened this issue · comments
Currently packages are never removed from the package-storage and new packages are only added. At some stage, old packages should archived.
An example here is when a package goes GA and the older versions should not be installed anymore. Then the older packages should be archived (not removed). This could for example be a different directory in the package-storage. These packages would not be served by default but the package-registry could still be configured to pull them in.
We gained some experience with packages delivery and don't see the need of removing packages from storage. Also, Kibana recommends installing the newest supported version and doesn't list old ones.
I will resolve this issue.
