ci: add Delete Old Releases workflow (keep newest 3) - #13
Merged
Conversation
Port armbian/ci's delete-old-releases workflow to prune old appliance releases here: daily (03:00 UTC) + manual, keep the 3 newest full releases and 3 newest pre-releases, delete the rest. Self-targets github.repository and uses the repo's own GITHUB_TOKEN with contents: write. Sorts by published_at instead of ci's created_at: the distribution releases were bulk-migrated, so many share an identical created_at that does not reflect version recency -- sorting by it would have deleted the newest releases (26.8.1/26.5.1/26.2.1). published_at reflects the real order; verified the keep-3 set resolves to the current three versions.

Ports armbian/ci's
delete-old-releasesworkflow to this repo so old appliance releases are pruned automatically.workflow_dispatch.github.repository, uses the repo's ownGITHUB_TOKENwithcontents: write, and is gated to thearmbianorg.One deviation from the ci copy: sort by
published_at, notcreated_atThe distribution releases were bulk-migrated, so dozens share an identical
created_at(e.g.2025-08-28,2024-08-29) that does not reflect version recency. Sorting bycreated_at(as ci does) would have deleted the newest releases.published_atreflects the real order.Verified keep-3 set (by
published_at):.[3:]slice (e.g..[6:]to keep 6) before enabling.
