== Removing N_Beta from Torrents

== Update MirrorManager Configuration

.MirrorManager redirection post-release

[source,subs="attributes+"]
....
$ rbac-playbook -v /srv/web/infra/ansible/playbooks/manual/mirrormanager/move-devel-to-release.yml --extra-vars="version='{branched}'"
....

== Cleanup of RCs and Unnecessary Composes

.Cleanup of unnecessary composes and RCs
[discrete]
=== Description

Remove release candidates and unnecessary composes that are no longer needed to free up storage.

[discrete]
=== Steps

. SSH into `bodhi-backend01.rdu3.fedoraproject.org` or any server where Koji is mounted.
. Perform the following:
** Remove all directories related to Beta and Final RCs in `/pub/alt/stage/`.
** Clean up old composes by removing all but the latest in `/mnt/koji/compose/branched/` and `/mnt/koji/compose/{branched}/`.
** Two weeks after release: Remove directories at `/pub/fedora/linux/development/{branched}` and `/pub/fedora-secondary/development/{branched}`.
** After MirrorManager playbook is run: Remove all but rawhide dirs at
 `/pub/alt/development/`.

== Closure of Failed Composes Issues

.Closure of open issues related to failed composes
