Hi, |
| 2 |
this is probably an old discussion, sorry for bring it up again. |

When I joined Gentoo (a few months ago) I got the idea that I could control |
| 5 |
very well the space that gentoo would require. That would be great because |
| 6 |
of my 4.6G available to it. Then, not so long time ago I got very surprised |
| 7 |
with how much less space available I had when I didn't have (almost) |
| 8 |
anything installed. Now it's completely full and I'm the middle of an emerge |
| 9 |
:( |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Well, tears apart, I would like to know if there's a good way to control the |
| 12 |
space usage of portage, since it is the reason for my problem. |
| 13 |
My /usr/portage and /var/tmp/portage/ take 2.2G which is almost half of the |
| 14 |
partition. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
What I have installed: |
| 17 |
- some (split) ebuilds of kde 3.4.1 |
| 18 |
- e16 |
| 19 |
- e17 |
| 20 |
- firefox |
| 21 |
- gimp |
| 22 |
- acrobat reader 7 |
| 23 |
- xmms, amsn (and maybe a few more small packages) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
What I've found until now: |
| 26 |
- clear /usr/portage/distfiles and /var/tmp/portage after an emerge, or |
| 27 |
regularly (using tmpreaper) |
| 28 |
- there are some users-made scripts (still buggy) that look for old ebuilds |
| 29 |
in portage tree and erases them ( |

| 31 |
) |
| 32 |

| 33 |
Any comments/ideas/scripts about this, or everyone has plenty space to |
| 34 |
spare... |

Cheers, |
