It's mostly just a bad joke[1]. I'll throw out the following alternatives: * slimcache * paccache-clean (more "standard", but too long imo) * cachetrim * pacuum NB: We've already got the following packages in the AUR, which I'd like to try and avoid stepping on: * cacheclean * pacleaner * pkgcacheclean * clearcache (there may be some that i missed) Any feedback on functionality? Anyone manage to break it? d [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_Money_Records
