Exactly. When I read that about cleaning dist files, I was like, WHAT? |
| 15 |
If a person has plenty of disk space, they could run their system, |
| 16 |
update it every day if they felt like it and it not affect a single |
| 17 |
thing, other than disk space. Having the source tarballs around can |
| 18 |
actually be a good thing if one has a slower internet connection. Heck, |
| 19 |
I forget to clean mine until my disk space starts getting low on that |
| 20 |
partition. Try as I might, I forget to clean them out and it doesn't |
| 21 |
break anything. Running --depclean is a good idea. That does clean out |
| 22 |
some cruft. I don't think I've ever had it break anything but no need |
| 23 |
having it around to manage either. |

I have to ask. I'm not seeing the original posts from this one. Is |
| 26 |
this that Alan, not the smart and intelligent Alan but the other Alan, |
| 27 |
that had that nifty script that did the stupidest stuff and then went on |
| 28 |
to blame Gentoo for what his script did? I think, after a ton of |
| 29 |
patience, I blocked that guy. That would explain why I'm not seeing the |
| 30 |
original posts. |
