5 It definitely (for me anyway, and probably as a general principle) needs
6 a user configurable exclude list. For the default excludes I'd suggest
7
8 /home
9 /tmp
10 /usr/local
11 /usr/portage
12 /var/tmp
13
14 I've included /usr/portage since portage won't know about these files
15 even though it manages them. There's a script floating around somewhere that
16 cleans all of the old files out of your /usr/portage/distfiles directory,
17 and this sounds like it would make a nice complement to that. Maybe they
18 could both be included in a later version of gentoolkit.
