Restoring deleted outdated chroots

Ask Fedora
1

I have a case where the original software creator has passed away, and I did not receive notice of outdated chroots being deleted and several things depend on those, but they’ve now been deleted by ‘fedoraproject’ due to timelines and being outdated. Due to supporting legacy copies of the project (OpenKJ), I was hoping the outdated chroots could be restored. I have a list of those and they were there last time I checked. Yes, they are old and now they’ve been removed, but not by me.
Some info from an email I was able to find, with the chroots and so forth listed:

Please, visit the projects settings if you want to extend the time.

Chroot: fedora-34-x86_64

Project: openkj/OpenKJ

Project: openkj/OpenKJ-unstable

**** END OF EMAIL..**.

I think it was around end of Oct or early November that the system tried to notify me.
So it’s relatively recent.

Thanks for any help! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
(And an image attached, in case fedora 39 and 40 were missed)

Issues you can report direct by copr:

https://matrix.to/#/#buildsys:fedoraproject.org
Or via matrix

Info’s I got from the footer on the copr page :bluethumb:

There is a mailing list that sees prompt replies here Making sure you're not a bot!

However I would be surprised that anything on copr repos are backed up.

For projects I care about that lose support I have grabbed the sources and built for myself.
