This enhancement request is a result of conversation with clime on IRC to introduce "--no-autodeletion" option for project(s) in copr repositories. This flag would allow to omit automatic removal of packages and at the same time allowing repository to be not-persistent one. Background: After resolving bug 1373784, where we wanted to keep multiple versions of the same package (not being deleted automatically), we found out that it is not possible to remove any package. This is designed behavior for persistent repositories, however we would like to be able to remove some packages from the persistent repository as they are either not relevant anymore or fixed in another repository.
Having this fixed would be real big deal as it would save us from wasting so many hours fixing builds. One additional build on a locked repository can cause a lot of additional work: unlock, remove (not to mention that if the cleanup job starts to runs while you are in unlocked state you may end-up having to rebuild the entire repository). Not being able to have manual-deletion without nightly clean-up is clearly a serious problem.
Fixed by https://pagure.io/copr/copr/c/6a7b80da39ac5a2185654258d4b2f7cb00f1a813?branch=master.
