when a project is deleted, it can't be created again

[certik]

I created a project sympy, deleted it and wanted to create it again, but it failed.

You can, however, rename a project to match the name of a deleted project. This results in two projects with the same name, but different URLs.

[smdabdoub]

Also, deleted projects are still accessible via URL.

[certik]

Is there any problem with just deleting all database entries for deleted projects? (Possibly adding some big warning to the user that everything will be deleted if he deletes the project.)

[ericholscher]

Yea, think that's what we'll end up doing. I'll try and do this tomorrow.

[smdabdoub]

This should be a separate tool as well, but maybe when someone deletes a project that is not linked to an external repository (along with the warning), offer to allow them to download a gzipped (or other) copy of their documentation.

Fixed here: wapcaplet/readthedocs.org@524634e

@ojiisan: I like your suggestion too--I created a new issue for it: #16

[wapcaplet]

Whoops--it's also important to remove the repository checkout. Fixed here: wapcaplet/readthedocs.org@94e5f82

[ericholscher]

This was fixed as well.

Hello. I think I am encountering this problem with my project (dnald, user jvb). I had previously created it using only the web interface so I deleted it in order to add it backed by a bitbucket repository. Now the build is failing with:

Built: March 20, 2012. 11:28 a.m.
Outcome: Failed
Version: latest
Type: html
State: triggered
Sphinx Standard Output

Yea, we still have a bug where changing repos doesn't work correctly
always. I blew away your build env and rebuilt the project. Seems to have
built happily. Sorry for the trouble :(

Cheers,
Eric

Hi, I had a reviewproscraping private repo in our account reviewpro.
I deleted it and wanted to create it again. It appears deleted, but it tells me that the name is already used in my account when I tried to create it again...
Is there any bug? From this discussion I understand this should be allowed...

Thanks a lot

[jfarre]

I was wrong. The first time I tried to create it again, it was supposed to work, but it leaded me to a 404 page.
After that, the name was in use, but the project does not exist.
I've tried with a brand-new name and exactly the same happened.
