    Description

      Follow up of Zulip thread

      Retrieving an old container image version can aid server debugging
      for example, in MDEV-38613, where container MSAN instrumention evolved
      over time and a clang regression was suspected.

      So older container snapshots can revert the state to a working builder scenario,
      and debugging can start from there.

      The work was started on: https://github.com/MariaDB/buildbot/pull/907
      Implementation:

      • GHCR is used as the backup medium where digests are tagged with an immutable tag hist_image_commitsha
      • a separate scheduled workflow will implement a 6 months retention for the package versions containing the immutable tag.
