🌱 Prerelease prune

[savitharaghunathan]

This workflow deletes prerelease and associated tags older than 7 days.

@djzager @dymurray do you think we need the prerelease artifacts more than a week?

I haven't really given a lot of thought to this. Having a rolling window doesn't seem to be a bad idea but I am also somewhat afraid to throw away the older bits.

What do you think about running the workflow once per week, say Sunday, throwing away all but the newest?

One of the reasons I kept a rolling window is to see if we need time to test a build or two.
Are you saying we run it on every sunday and retain only the previous week's builds? that is sunday date - 7?

also with every day nightly release, whenever someone fetches upstream its gonna be a lot of tags if we dont purge. personally, I think it would be not helpful to see that many tags of prerelease version. May be I am wrong when I just fetch the whole of upstream and not everyone does that way.

closing this as we have changed the workflow - #63
