[gentoo-user] cruft in /etc. How to clean in out.

2008-11-26 Thread Dale
Hi folks, I got a old install, about 5 years or so. I got a lot of stuff in /etc, and no telling where else, that belongs to nothing. Is there a way, hopefully with something in portage, to clean out this unclaimed stuff? I searched the forums but didn't find anything on there that was recent

Maybe you should search the forums for cruft. I remember Ed (?) Catmur once posted a script or something there. I use a script named findcruft regularly (I think it is an improved version of Ed Catmur's product; I'll check when I get home). It works by finding all files on the filesystem

You could start with qfile -o $(find /etc -type f) I guess that would have many more false positives than findcruft, as it doesn't have the database feature of findcruft. So no, qfile -o does not seem a better option than findcruft.

I have hacked something together in perl for my own purposes. Will post it this evening. Don't know if it's that user friendly though. Also the usual disclaimers like for all other cruft scripts apply here too, e. g. don't delete a file you are not 100% it is cruft. -- Regards, Daniel
