Thanks for the replies. |

I regularly run eclean-dist on the mythtv frontends as I still have 32GB |
| 12 |
SSDs on a couple of them. These are pretty lean as all file shares & |
| 13 |
mythtv recordings are on the server that is running 24/7. |

I figured eclean-dist would wipe out everything that wasn't needed by |
| 16 |
the machine it was run on, but if all it does is clean stuff that isn't |
| 17 |
in the tree any longer that would work too. |

The server I'd be running it on has ample space. Which is why I was |
| 20 |
debating over the http-replicator (thanks for the suggestion Peter!) and |
| 21 |
just exporting the damn distfiles directory. |

I think I'm going to try exporting it first and see if it does what I |
| 24 |
want first, if it works I'll leave it. :-) |
