 Posted: Fri Aug 22, 2003 7:11 pm Post subject: Removing old work directories |
 |
|
I have discovered a lot of old portage work directories on my system -- most from failed installs from portage:
| Code: |
./sqlite-2.8.3/work
./sqlite-2.8.5/work
./gentoolkit-0.1.25/work
./gentoolkit-0.1.27/work
./gentoolkit-0.1.29/work
./gentoolkit-0.1.30/work
./scons-0.14/work
./gnuconfig-20030708/work
./libbonobo-2.2.3/work
./guile-1.6.4/work
./Compress-Zlib-1.21/work
./libwnck-2.2.2/work
./libmad-0.15.0b/work
./gawk-3.1.2-r3/work/gawk-3.1.2/awklib/eg/network
|
Here is my one-liner to remove them (to be ran inside the build directory):
| Code: | | du -m |egrep work$|awk '{print $2}'|xargs rm -rf |
