| Provides the ability to delete a project. |
| |
| Deleting a project means that the project is completely removed from |
| the Gerrit installation, including all its changes and optionally its |
| Git repository. |
| |
| When a project is fully deleted, a project deletion event is fired. |
| Other plugins can listen to this event by implementing |
| `com.google.gerrit.extensions.events.ProjectDeletedListener` which is |
| part of the Gerrit core extension API. The project deletion event is |
| only fired if the Git repository of the project is deleted. |
| |
| Limitations |
| ----------- |
| |
| There are a few caveats: |
| |
| * This cannot be undone |
| |
| This is an irreversible action, and should be taken with extreme |
| care. Backups are always advised of any important data. |
| |
| * You cannot delete projects that use "submodule subscription" |
| |
| If deleting a project that makes use of submodule subscription, |
| you cannot delete the project. Remove the submodule registration |
| before attempting to delete the project. |
| |
| Replication of project deletions |
| -------------------------------- |
| |
| This plugin does not replicate any project deletions, but it triggers |
| an event when a project is deleted. The [replication plugin] |
| (https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/admin/projects/plugins/replication) |
| can be configured to listen to the project deletion event and to |
| replicate project deletions. |
| |
| Access |
| ------ |
| |
| To be allowed to delete arbitrary projects a user must be a member of a |
| group that is granted the 'Delete Project' capability (provided by this |
| plugin) or the 'Administrate Server' capability. Project owners are |
| allowed to delete their own projects if they are member of a group that |
| is granted the 'Delete Own Project' capability (provided by this |
| plugin). |
