96 +<c>eclean</c> is a tool to remove old source files and old binary packages from
97 +your system.
98 +</p>
99 +
100 +<p>
101 +When you build and install packages, the source files are downloaded and
102 +preserved in DISTDIR, usually <path>/usr/portage/distfiles</path>. This can
103 +accumulate several gigs of material over time if you don't clean it
104 +periodically. You can run <c>eclean-dist</c> to clean only source files from
105 +DISTDIR.
106 +</p>
107
108 +<p>
109 +You can create archives of installed packages by using <c>quickpg</c> or
110 +FEATURES="buildpkg". These archived packages are kept in PKGDIR, usually
111 +<path>/usr/portage/packages</path>. When you no longer need to keep them around,
112 +or if they're too old, you can run <c>eclean-pkg</c> to remove them from PKGDIR.
113 +It's a good way to ensure that any binary packages you have are only the latest
114 +versions.

119 +system, please read <c>man eclean</c>.
