Thank for suggestions, yes I usually keep the binaries for as long as I have enough room on "/" :-) |
| 33 |
If I'm short on space I periodically nuke them. I've manged to keep the system going for the last 10-years |
| 34 |
and keep my own help-file.txt (notes) how to solve certain problem (but not all :-/) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I sometime clean the distribution files with this command (I'm sure there might be a better way). |
| 37 |
----------------- |
| 38 |
cd /usr/portage/distfiles |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
and run this command: |
| 41 |
(emerge -epf world 2>&1 | perl -ne '$f=join("\n", m@\w://[^\s]+/([^\s]+)@g); print "$f\n" if $f' | sort -u; ls -f) | sort | uniq -c | perl -ane 'print "$F[1]\n" if |
| 42 |
$F[0]==1 && -f $F[1]' | xargs rm -f |
| 43 |
------------------ |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Regarding keeping the binaries, I'll need to learn how to install compiled binaries from another box. Never, had a chance to do it yet. |
