Repository deletion and restore

Deleting a Ravenstash repository is intentionally explicit because package-manager URLs stop working immediately.

Private repository deletion

Deleting a private repository soft-deletes it, sets deletion metadata, and revokes access immediately.

The current backend hard-deletes soft-deleted repositories and their object-storage artifacts after a seven-day grace period.

Restore

Admin operators can restore soft-deleted private repositories from the backoffice during the grace period. Remote repositories are not restorable.

Upstream dependencies

Deletion is blocked when a repository is used as an upstream by another repository. Remove or change dependent upstream configuration before deleting the repository.

Rename caution

Repository public IDs are mutable for private repositories. Renaming a repository changes package-manager upload and download URLs immediately.
