I can tell you how I cleaned my distfiles out. I installed |
| 17 |
http-replicator and let it clean them out. It knows what source files |
| 18 |
are no longer going to be used, to old and not in portage any more, and |
| 19 |
then you can delete the old ones. It will list them too. |

If you do this, don't forget to put the proxy line in make.conf and |
| 22 |
point it back to itself. Basically it moves everything to cache then |
| 23 |
you can delete the rest in distfile. If you do a emerge, it just puts |
| 24 |
them back. Sounds strange but it worked well for me. I also use it for |
| 25 |
three servers connected here on a LAN. It was a fringe benefit I guess. |
