at any arb point in time: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
if (no instance of emerge running) |
| 14 |
then |
| 15 |
rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/* |
| 16 |
endif |

Keeping that stuff is pointless unless you are working on a failed ebuild. In |
| 19 |
which case you won't run rm just yet. emerge nukes it anyway on the next |
| 20 |
emerge of that package. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
ebuild itself doesn't nuke it, but you really shouldn't be running ebuild |
| 23 |
directly unless you are dev'ing something. To no need to ever keep that tmp |
| 24 |
stuff around |
