In the topic discussed at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=23027 there is two scripts for cleaning both the distfiles and the packages subdirectories of the portage directory, based on which packages are not currently installed. In the topic http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=3011 one can find also a script for cleaning the distfiles subdirectory, based on the existence of a related ebuild in the portage hierarchy. I have adapted it for cleaning the packages subdirectory. Those scripts are more conservative as they keep any distfile or package file for which there is an ebuild. Those scripts are attached. They do not remove the files itself, but outputs their name to the standard output. Romildo -- Prof. Jose Romildo Malaquias [EMAIL PROTECTED] Departamento de Computação [EMAIL PROTECTED] Univ.
