Hello developers developers and developers, |
2 |
|
3 |
Ever wondered how much crap is left in your X-years old Gentoo box? |
4 |
|
5 |
I just developed a python utility to efficiently find orphaned files in |
6 |
the system. By orphaned files I mean the files that are present on |
7 |
system directories and don't belong to any installed package. |
8 |
|
9 |
The package builds a virtual filesystem (cache) on the RAM using python |
10 |
hash tables. Then it uses the cache to find the ownership of files |
11 |
inside user-specified dirs. |
12 |
|
13 |
Building the cache takes less than 10 seconds here in a system with 1366 |
14 |
installed packages. |
15 |
|
16 |
This is not intended to be a finished program yet, I'm looking forward |
17 |
for your constructive commentaries. |
