4 Hello,
5
6 I've been wondering about writing a cruft detecting script.. The basic
7 idea would be:
8 * Produce a list of every file that Portage claims responsibility for on
9 the current system (ie. the results of qpkg -l `qpkg -I`)
10 * Produce a list of every file in the system (ie. find /)
11 * Remove the first set from the second
12 * Whatever's left is 'cruft'
13
14 The above needs to be tweaked so that find doesn't look in areas that
15 are not used for system things, eg. /home, /tmp etc.
16
17 Has anyone written something like this, and does anyone have any reason
18 why something like this wouldn't work or be useful?
19
20 Cheers,
21
