Support for marking a build as 'retain indefinetely' in DevOps

[fgheysels]

We have situations where our build / deploy pipeline produces artifacts that must be used / available by other pipelines.
By default, a pipeline-run is retained for 30 days, which is in our situation too short.
Would it be an idea to provide a script via Arcus which allows you to retain the a build run indefinitely ? This script can be called from within a pipeline and marks the current run as 'to be retained'.

(I can provide the script, as I've built it for a specific project).

Nice idea 👍

Always annoying when a build package is no longer available, so like the idea as well.

Are you achieving this by performing a delete-operation using the Lease API?

Could you add what you have in a separate branch to extend the current DevOps-package?
We can always assist/jump in if it would be difficult (time-wise) for you.

[fgheysels]

Not via a delete operation :) I have investigated the Lease API but decided to go with a PATCH operation on the Build API.
