remote build: provide a way to clean up all of a user's remote builds
Metadata
Current evaluation
Enhancement request for a clean-remote-builds command that deletes all stopped remote builds in the user's Launchpad remote-build project. Triaged by a maintainer and synced to internal ticket CRAFT-2558, but the command is not yet implemented.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The issue is triaged (labels 'Status: Triaged', 'Type: Enhancement') and filed by a maintainer, and I verified the requested clean-remote-builds command does not exist in craft_application/commands/remote.py nor in the remotebuild service, which only cleans up the current build's recipe/repository. Remote builds are still marked experimental in the code and docs, so the manual-cleanup pain point remains valid; inactivity alone (last real activity was the triage, with only a bot Jira-sync comment 215 days ago) does not make it irrelevant.
