 Posted: Fri Sep 13, 2002 7:55 pm Post subject: Clean out unused packages from Portage |
 |
|
Hello, all. I've already brought this up a couple of times, but I finally got around to writing something to take care of the problem and figured I'd share it here for anyone else who cares. Read the comments at the head of the file to get a feel for what it's all about. If you'd rather not cut-and-paste, I've made the file available at http://apocalyptech.com/software/gentoo/gentoo-slotcheck.py. Have fun, use at your own risk, comments welcome!
(Update: Made a rather minor change to the code, doesn't affect functionality at all, just consolidated a couple of loops into one.)
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/env python
#
# gentoo-slotcheck.py
# Author: CJ Kucera <pez@apocalyptech.com>
# URL: http://apocalyptech.com/software/gentoo
#
# This script is designed to help clean up your Gentoo package
# installation database. Portage has a concept of SLOTs that
# enable different versions of packages to exist side-by-side.
# More information on SLOTs can be found at:
# http://gentoo.org/doc/portage-manual.html
#
# The early "skeleton" ebuild file, upon which many ebuilds were
# written, did not have a default SLOT defined, or it was blank.
# As ebuilds were revised, SLOT values were put in, but because
# the original versions had a blank SLOT, the newer versions
# existed side-by-side with the previous versions. For instance,
# on my machine right now, I've got app-admin/chkrootkit version
# 0.35 and version 0.36. 0.35 has a blank SLOT, whereas 0.36
# has a SLOT of zero. There's no reason to keep around the
# older version, but there it will sit until manually removed.
# Doing an "emerge clean" has no effect on SLOT-less packages.
#
# It should be noted that these extra versions really aren't
# that big of a deal, because "side-by-side" in this case
# is fairly meaningless; the new version is installed basically
# on top of the old version. Still, old libraries can be kept
# around, stray files CAN cause confusion, and if you're a
# system-organizing freak like me, it'll bug you. But if you
# want to make sure that you don't break things, and the
# lingering versions don't bother you, then you can pretty
# much ignore this script.
#
# If you feel like cleaning up your Portage tree by hand, you
# can do so by glancing around inside /var/db/pkg, but this
# script is designed to make it a bit easier. It will scan
# through that directory and notice any program that's
# installed twice. If one of those installations has a blank
# SLOT defined, it'll ask you if you'd like to remove that
# version. If you say yes, it will first show you everything
# that depends on the program you're about to destroy (just
# so you're extra careful here), and also the output of
# "emerge --pretend unmerge <package>", so that you know what's
# about to happen to your system. If you're okay with what
# was displayed, say Yes again, and it'll do the work for you.
#
# Note that while this program SHOULDN'T do anything nasty to
# your system, there's a chance that it'll erase your hard
# drive, fry your CPU, poison your cat, default your mortgage,
# promote racial hatred, and cause our sun to implode in on
# itself. If you're uncomfortable about removing some package,
# then don't. Again, it's typically not that big of a deal.
# Use with care and caution, and I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE!
#
# I'll hereby release this thing under the GPL, in case anyone
# cares. See http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt for details.
#
# Lastly, if anyone deems this script worthy of improvement,
# go for it. It could certainly use some. :)

# 2002.09.13 - CJ Kucera <pez@apocalyptech.com>
# Initial release
# 2002.09.13 - CJ Kucera <pez@apocalyptech.com>
# Consolidated a couple of loops (minor)
#
# TODO:
# * Seeing as "emerge" is written in Python, it would probably
# make sense to just call its functions in here, instead of
# spawning off a new Python process.
# * I'm aware that system() is far less secure than exec*()
# or spawn*() or any other function that more rigidly defines
# argument input.

Cool script. Did you ever find out, if this slot-less baselayout is needed or not? As I am such a "system-organizing freak" like you, I really wonder if I can safely remove it.

Yeah, I eventually just unmerged the thing and everything was fine, so go ahead and do it yourself.
If you're feeling apprehensive about it, you could always use "quickpkg" to create a binary package out of the slotless version; that way if it does screw anything up you can just re-emerge the old version. But I don't think you'd need to do that. |

Actually, for a long time now I've been using a much better version of the script. I just uploaded it to http://apocalyptech.com/linux/gentoo/gentoo-checkdupes.py, and I'll paste it here as well. There are a couple of rather hokey things about it, but I like it. It's mostly self-explanatory... It goes through all the packages with more than one version installed and asks you if you want to unmerge any of them. It will automatically add any slot-less packages to the list of packages to unmerge... You can modify the list by hitting "m." There are also options to run a qpkg dependency check, and also I wrote a section which will show you which files will probably be removed by doing the unmerge (which can be useful sometimes). I dig it. Anyway, here it is, the usual disclaimers apply:
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/env python
import os,sys,portage,string
#
# This function should be smart enough to figure out what's going
# to be deleted if we unmerge a package. This duplicates a lot
# of things that are going on inside portage.py, and should probably
# be contained there, but I'm not feeling up to hacking it right
# now.
#
def checkdeletions(packageVersion):
# We should really just use portage.dblink, but for now I'm just
# going to do this instead.
fileName = "/var/db/pkg/" + packageVersion + "/CONTENTS"
try:
df = open(fileName, "r")
fileinfo = df.readlines()
df.close()
except IOError:
print "That package doesn't exist."
sys.exit()
#packageArray = string.split(packageVersion, "/")
#mydblink = portage.dblink(packageArray[0], packageArray[1], "/")
#pkgfiles=mydblink.getcontents()
#mykeys=pkgfiles.keys()
#mykeys.sort()
#mykeys.reverse()
#print str(mykeys)
#return
deletedfiles=[]
dirs=[]
# Make a list of files that would get deleted, and a list of all the dirs.
for line in fileinfo:
line = line[:-1]
lineinfo = string.split(line, " ")
if (lineinfo[0] == "dir"):
if (os.path.isdir(lineinfo[1])):
dirs.append(lineinfo[1])

nice script. good work.
Is the [d]ependencies option going to do something?

Yeah, it already does. It calls "qpkg -d" on the file. If
you don't have gentoolkit installed, it'll probably just
drop you back out to the menu. qpkg -d has varying levels
of usefulness, but with gentoolkit installed it should be all
right. |

I know that it's been a couple months since the last post in this thread, but I just came across it recently and have a question regarding n0n's script. I noticed that so far, most of the duplicate packages that have been listed by the script are listed as depended upon when I run a
| Code: | | qpkg --installed --query-deps packagename |
.
For example, gentoo-checkdupes.py says that there are multiple versions of atk installed, 1.2.3 and 1.4.0. However, qpkg says this:
| Code: | lostech root # qpkg --installed --query-deps atk
dev-libs/atk-1.2.3 *
DEPENDED ON BY:
gnome-base/libglade-2.0.1
net-ftp/gproftpd-8.1.0
x11-libs/gtk+-2.2.4-r1
dev-libs/atk-1.4.0 *
DEPENDED ON BY:
gnome-base/libglade-2.0.1
net-ftp/gproftpd-8.1.0
x11-libs/gtk+-2.2.4-r1 |
As you can see, qpkg reports that the exact same packages depend on both atk 1.2.3 and 1.4.0... is this just a quirk of qpkg? So can I still unmerge the duplicate older package?
Also, what about glib? This is qpkg's output:
| Code: | lostech root # qpkg --installed --query-deps glib
sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r1 *
DEPENDED ON BY:
net-misc/netkit-fingerd-0.17-r2

It seems that 1.2.10 and 2.2.3 are both depended by the same packages, and the only package needing 2.3.2 is fingerd...
What do I do?

Yeah, qpkg output for dependencies can be a bit quirky. I imagine that 1.2.3 could probably safely go...

Well, the glib 1.2.10 is in SLOT 1, and 2.2.3 is in SLOT 2, which means that they're designed to coexist with each other. My script should, by default, not elect to unmerge anything that's got separate slots in it... I'd recommend keeping both of those around... |

Nice script, any chance of one that can scan the packages database and /usr/portage/distfiles
and list files in /usr/portage/distfiles that are for old versions in the package list, old versions
no longer in the package list or which appear to be a partial download?
It would be nice to be able to easily keep /usr/portage/distfiles clean, but for some things
such as automake/autoconfig multiple versions need to be kept. |

|
|
I wrote a script that takes care of duplicate packages. I found out there are quite a few versions of some of my packages... deleted some by hand -> messed up my system -> had to reinstall most packages... I searched through the forums do find out how the depend system works. So I wrote this script to help you find the packages that reside on your system with more than one version, and also check if the older versions are still needed. It displays the dependency or the unmerge options. I didnt try it out too long, but it seems to work pretty good.
I also put it on http://www.gargan.org/linux
After a basic cleanup of stuff I knew I didnt need anymore (like old kernels) - I saved about 1 gig of space... and until now everything seems to work

Yea, this and what I wrote on the homepage... Since I forgot mentioning, that it displays all versions (even the installed ones).... I am currently tweaking it so it will display only the older ones.
And I use equery now... |

to be honest i don't think equery is very accurate. (although it is newer than qpkg)
I noticed mistakes on mplayer pkg for example.

Ok I updated the script with equery. Also it doesnt display ALL packages anymore, only the "older" ones. I am not sure, if the "not very accurate" of equery matters that much for this script. As long as it does not show a current package as deleteable. If it finds packages that were already removed, it wont display them anyways, and if it does not show packages which could be removed its not that big of a problem (since it only eats up space, but doesnt crash your system...)
I edited my post so it matches the changes...[/code] |
