[aur-general] System cleaning?
You would think that I would have been using arch long enough to know how to do this buy I don't. I was using gnome then I tried to uninstall it and I used kdemod for a little while but know I want to use gnome again. I uninstalled kdemod and reinstalled gnome but it just doesn't seem as snappy as it was before. Plus I have easytag installed and when I click the home folder from the places menu it opened easytag. On top of that when I was connected to a remote FTP and I try to edit and save something I get a gvfs error. This use to work fine before. In the past I have usually just done a fresh install because I am weird about having only what I need installed and have never taken the time to learn all I can do with pacman. So my main question is can how do I do a major cleaning removing what I don't need and how do I check if I am missing something I do need since I am running into a few oddities. What is the best way to get my system clean and mean. Thanks for any insight. -- Brandon Martin
Re: [aur-general] Please delete a package
My error was upload the same PKBUILD of an anterior name of the package. The xammp is the correct package and xammp-linux must be deleted. 2009/3/24, Dieter Plaetinck die...@plaetinck.be: On Wed, 25 Mar 2009 21:19:34 +1930 José Valecillos valecillo...@gmail.com wrote: I commited a mistake uploading one of my packages, then the xammp-linux package is a error.

Re: [aur-general] System cleaning?
You can do pacman -Qdt to list all packages that were installed as dependencies but are no longer required. You can then take these packages and remove them. You can do this automatically like: pacman -Qdt | sed s/ .*// | sudo xargs pacman -Rs This will delete all packages that are installed as a result of unneeded dependencies. In the future, use pacman -Rs to not have to do this (rather than pacman -R). Also, consider switching to ext4 and doing a defrag when you're at it. ext4+defrag has extends that cause shorter seek time.

Also I don't have the time to maintain the vmware PKGBUILDs anymore: vmware-workstation, vmware-workstation-modules vmware-player, vmware-player-modules vmware-server, vmware-server-modules, vmware-server-console If no TU wants them, I will orphan them in a few days. Alex I orphaned the packages in this list which haven't been disowned or adopted so far.
