Hello,

for quite some time we have the problem that new builds get marked as
"Keep this build forever" automatically and we can not revert that?!
It seams that every build depends on the previous build, but we don't
know why?!
e.g. if i call http://.../job/.../90/confirmDelete?json={}&Submit=Delete+this+build
i get the error message "Warning: Cannot delete this build, because it
is #91 depends on this"

We use matrix based jobs and the Build-Publisher plugin.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
Thomas

We have the same problem too, I'm quickly running out of disk space
because of it.

I did notice that some of the initial unstable or failed builds would
get marked as failed and automatically marked as "keep forever"....not
sure why though.

We as well are using matrix based jobs.

Also, I did notice that the project that is being marked like this has
"track svn of another project" being used. The one that it's tracking
happens to be the one with all the "keep forever" builds.

There now is a bug on JIRA for this exact issue.
