Hi, |
| 43 |
Just checking the size of '/usr/portage' and it's quite 3 GB using |
| 44 |
reiserfs from which 1,4 GB is in 'distfiles' (source code) and 1,2 GB |
| 45 |
in 'packages' (binary packages in my case) so just portage is around 400 |
| 46 |
MB here. |
| 47 |
My '/var/tmp/portage' directory is (~430 MB) together with portage logs |
| 48 |
which are the most of it (PORT_LOGDIR=). |
| 49 |
You could erase all of '/var/tmp/portage' and '/usr/portage/distfiles' |
| 50 |
(you'll have to download the sources again though). |
| 51 |
Also check if using "keepwork" in your /etc/make.conf file if 'yes' |
| 52 |
remove it (specially in case not having disk space, same for |
| 53 |
"buildpkg"). For cleaning 'distfiles' i use "distclean.py" script. Try |
| 54 |
out "emerge depclean -pv" but watch out before removing the "p" afterwards. |
