Commits on Mar 5, 2024

  1. Add a script to expunge old releases from releases.nixos.org 

    Since releases are the main garbage collector roots, this is the first
step in doing garbage collection of cache.nixos.org. Also, the
releases themselves take up a non-trivial amount of storage (~32 TiB).

Note: this script doesn't do anything yet, it just prints which
releases/files would be deleted/moved to Glacier. To run:

   $ aws s3 ls --recursive s3://nix-releases > bucket-contents
   $ python3 ./expunge-releases.py
