After I viewed setup.ini, I decide to write a little script to do this. Currently, it scans all the sub-directory of cygwin local package directory, and delete all the old files which not listed in setup.ini or setup-2.ini.
Wish it can help someone like me. download it from nabble.com: http://old.nabble.com/file/p26590979/cleanOldPackages_UTF8.sh cleanOldPackages_UTF8.sh or copy the following code to a .sh file: <pre> # # 将本脚本文件放到与 setup.exe 相同的目录下，然后执行之 # Put this script file to the directory which contains setup.exe, and execute it # echo "################################################################################" echo " 清理 Cygwin 旧安装包 " echo " Clean Old Install Packages of Cygwin " echo " " echo " by LiuYan<lovetide＠qq.com> 2009-12-01 " echo "################################################################################" echo echo "Usage 用法：" echo " $0 [-d] [-g][-l]" echo " -d Do delete file if file is old 执行删除操作" echo " -g, -l Generate file delete commands to a script file 生成删除文件脚本" echo o_delete=false o_list=false while getopts "dgl" option do case $option in d) o_delete=true ;; g|l) o_list=true rm_command_list_file=rm_old_packages_`date +%F`.sh rm -f "$rm_command_list_file" ;; *) ;; esac done SCRIPT_BASE_DIR=`dirname $0` #echo "SCRIPT_BASE_DIR=$SCRIPT_BASE_DIR" BeginTime=`date "+%F %T %N"` # 查找所有子目录下的 setup.ini 和 setup-2.ini 文件 # Search setup.exe or setup-2.exe in sub-directories setup_ini_file_list=`find $SCRIPT_BASE_DIR -name setup.ini -or -name setup-2.ini` echo "$setup_ini_file_list" > cop_setup_ini_file_list.txt # 对比 setup.ini 中的“最新文件列表”与本地目录中的文件，清理不在“最新文件列表”中的旧文件 # Compair the "Newest File List" in setup.ini and the local files, clean old files which not exist in "Newest File List" total_old_file_count=0 for setup_ini_file in $setup_ini_file_list do echo MIRROR_BASE_DIR=`dirname $setup_ini_file` setup_ini_file_short_name=`basename $setup_ini_file` if [ $setup_ini_file_short_name == "setup-2.ini" ] then PACKAGE_BASE_DIR="$MIRROR_BASE_DIR/release-2/" else PACKAGE_BASE_DIR="$MIRROR_BASE_DIR/release/" fi echo "INI file : $setup_ini_file" echo "Package directory: $PACKAGE_BASE_DIR" echo "Processing ..." # 得到 setup.ini 中的“最新文件列表” # Get the "Newest File List" from setup.ini newest_file_list=`gawk -F ' ' '/install:|source:/{print $2}' $setup_ini_file` newest_file_list_file=cop_newest_file_list${setup_ini_file//\//__}.txt echo "$newest_file_list" > $newest_file_list_file # 遍历安装包文件夹，删除不在“最新文件列表”中的文件 # Search install package directory recursively, delete files not exist in "Newest File List" local_file_list=`find "$PACKAGE_BASE_DIR" -type f` package_old_file_count=0 for local_file in $local_file_list do local_file_in_setup_ini_format=${local_file#${MIRROR_BASE_DIR}/} file_is_fresh=false ## via grep grep -i "$local_file_in_setup_ini_format" $newest_file_list_file > /dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ] then file_is_fresh=true fi # via bash conditional expression (=~ binary operator) #if [[ $newest_file_list =~ $local_file_in_setup_ini_format ]] #then # file_is_fresh=true #fi if $file_is_fresh then echo " $local_file_in_setup_ini_format" else echo "X $local_file_in_setup_ini_format" (( total_old_file_count ++ )) (( package_old_file_count ++ )) if $o_list then echo "rm -f \"$local_file\"" >> $rm_command_list_file fi if $o_delete then rm -f $local_file exit_code=$? echo -n "Delete $local_file ..." if [ $exit_code -eq 0 ] then echo Done! else echo Failed with code $exit_code! fi fi fi done echo "$package_old_file_count old files in $PACKAGE_BASE_DIR" done EndTime=`date "+%F %T %N"` echo echo "Total $total_old_file_count old files" echo "BeginTime: $BeginTime" echo "EndTime : $EndTime" </pre> Christopher Faylor-8 wrote: > > On Sun, Nov 29, 2009 at 07:19:07PM -0800, LiuYan ?????? wrote: >> >>I'm using Cygwin for several years, it help me very much in my work. >> >>There's a tiny issue: after downloaded in several years, the total size of >>my local setup packages directory had grown up to G bytes, while a fresh >>setup packages of mine are only <40M bytes. > > So, why not just remove your local setup packages directory?
