RE: [gentoo-dev] Cruft detecting script

[Sami Dalouche]

Hi,

It seems everybody agrees to make a configurable exclude-list for your 
Script.
What I suggest is that you take the debian "cruft" package, and modify 
It so that it works with gentoo.
The way it works is easy :
 1) produces a list of every file in the system (find /)
 2) runs every script in /etc/cruft/exclude/ (or whatever)
 3) remove 2 from 1
 4) remove all package-owned files from 1)
 5) print the rest

As a result, you can configure the files you want excluded by creating
simple
#!/bin/sh
find /usr/local

Scripts, for example..
