Just a small issue you might want to fix up:
When run as a non-root user, since /var/log/portage is denied access, the following doesn't work right:
Code:
# ./yacleaner -p log
[...]

* /var/log/portage is already clean.


Great script otherwise, thanks!

Could you post the output of a:
Code:
ls -lda /var/log/portage

You are in the portage group?

Ahh! you're right ... its my permissions that are probably wrong:
Code:
$ ls -lda /var/log/portage/
drwxrws---  2 root root 30080 Jul  9 12:56 /var/log/portage/

I wonder where else on my system I (wrongly) have gid=root instead of gid=portage...
Is there a way I can find this out?

Re-download yacleaner-3.0 its fixed now, it shows this msg:

Code:
* You don't have permission to access /var/log/portage.
  Perhaps you are not in 'portage' group?.

Hmm.. maybe you just should have root:portage perms on: /usr/portage/distfiles and /var/log/portage.

Hi, what do you mean with "remove old worktmp"? I am playing with worktmp module and
Code:
yacleaner-0.3.1 --ask --verbose worktmp
........
  [ total ]              +179 M

About 99 % from /var/tmp/portage was deleted and only 7 directories remain (dirs from interupted or unfinished emerge).

BTW: are my questions posted here redundant, crazy, stupid ... ? :oops:

+179 M are a good amount of new free space :P

It should delete all dirs inside ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage which doesn't have a corresponding package installed.

For example:

I have installed rpc-0.98 and xfce4-windowlist-0.1.0-r1.
Code:
$ ls /var/tmp/portage
rpc-0.97  rpc-0.98  xfce4-windowlist-0.1.0-r1  xfce4-windowlist-0.1.0-r4

Then, rpc-0.97 and xfce4-windowlist-0.1.0-r4 will be erased.

In fact all `modules` for yacleaner work in that way (dist, binpkg, log, worktmp). :-)

Thanks for reply. I was worrying about fact, why after I run it, only 7 dirs remained, although I have +-500 packages on system. I am stupid boy, I tried to reemerge one package right now to see what happens in /var/tmp/portage. After succesully merge, everything related to this emerge was deleted by portage itself.

Sorry, I missed how portage behaves these days :oops: Really stupid question from me. :oops:

That is the correct Portage behaviour if you don't have set FEATURES="keeptemp", So the worktmp cleaning process of yacleaner is just for users who have that portage's feature enabled. Anyway it seems that there is a little portage bug because dyn_clean() function (where ${T} are cleaned) it's being ran at the wrong time when {up,down}grading, so sometimes you have "orphaned" files inside ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage even if you dont have FEATURES="keeptemp" set.

:D ...I ran this programme and i got this:

[code]VaderX Cruft # ./yacleaner.sh --verbose --ask all

These are the old files that I would delete:

[ worktmp ] Compress-Zlib-1.33 72K
[ log ] 3493-spamassassin-3.0.4.log 28K

Most scripts like this have no graphical interface, which means nothing will happen if you just double-click it. You have to run them from a console (translated to Windows-ian: "command prompt window". like xterm, konsole, or gnome-terminal) to see the text they print out.

First open a console, then type:
Code:
cd the_directory_that_you_saved_the_file_in

This will make the script executable:
Code:
chmod +x ./whatever_filename_you_saved_it_as

And then you can run it like this:
Code:
./whatever_filename_you_saved_it_as

And that goes for just about any linux script. You just have to make it executable after you download it.

BTW, this paticular script needs root permission in order to delete files. To become root type "su", enter your root password, and then run the script.

Thank you for explaining.

Here is the error I am receiving now:

laptop nate # ./yacleaner.sh
./yacleaner.sh: line 1: !/bin/bash: No such file or directory
./yacleaner.sh: line 312: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./yacleaner.sh: line 312: ` echo eval rm -rf \"`eval_this portage ${1}` files\" >> '

I did a dir command at the prompt and it is showing the yacleaner.sh script being present in my home folder.

laptop nate # dir

And what's the problem? All of them are old files, so.. don't worry they could be deleted.

I am trying your 0.4 alpha build and am receiving a few odd things....

>>> Deleting old files...

* /var/tmp/portage cleaned.
* The $PORT_LOGDIR variable is not set.
* /usr/portage/distfiles was already clean.
* The directory /usr/portage/packages do not exist.

I don't know if that is how it is supposed to react or not.

Big thanks, it really has all the features I need atm :-)

I think move (with destination folder) would be a nice new action.

Works well the only thing about it is that it doesn't support multiple options together
ie: yacleaner -av dist
here is one solution to change the parsing of the options in the script to:

Code:
while getopts adhpvVc o
  do case "$o" in
      a ) ask_pretend="ask";;
      d ) action_delete="yes";;
      h ) option_help="yes";;
      c ) option_color="no";;
      p ) verb="is"; ask_pretend="pretend";;
      v ) option_verbose="yes";;
      V ) option_version="yes";;
      * ) OPTIND=$i; should_exit="yes" ; show_help "${!i} is an invalid option"; break ;;
  esac
done

for ((i=$OPTIND; i<=$#; ++i)); do
  case ${!i} in
      --ask ) ask_pretend="ask";;
      --delete ) action_delete="yes";;
      --help ) option_help="yes";;
      --nocolor ) option_color="no";;
      --pretend ) verb="is"; ask_pretend="pretend";;
      --verbose ) option_verbose="yes";;
      --version ) option_version="yes";;
      binpkg ) delete_argument="binpkg ${delete_argument}" ;;
      dist ) delete_argument="dist ${delete_argument}" ;;
      log ) delete_argument="log ${delete_argument}" ;;
      worktmp ) delete_argument="worktmp ${delete_argument}" ;;
      all ) delete_argument="binpkg dist log worktmp" ;;
      -* ) ;;
      * ) OPTIND=$i; should_exit="yes" ; show_help "${!i} is an invalid option"; break ;;
  esac
done


this works all i had to do was make the short option for --nocolor be -c

:D Good luck for the great job. just a suggestion only. Why dont you maintain a ebuild like conky? That would be cool, dude. I knw the program is only 16kb but having an ebuild would be betteri guess :P

I like the idea, most probably will be in v4. I will work on it on yacleaner-0.4.1alpha :-)

yacleaner-0.4.1alpha now support multiple short options together, so the next stable version, will have that support. :-)

Humm, I will think about it, but I beleive that is better that some tool like this is get inside gentoolkit.

Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions! :-)

PD: If you use yacleaner-0.4.1alpha see the ToDo List and dropme a line (here or in my mail) with you comments and rembember that is alpha code, so take care.

@Lord Vader:
Could you kindly edit that huge post of yours (somewhere up in the middle of this page) and shorten it? It fills up a lot of space and doesn't provide much information to others browsing through the pages. Thanks.

I think I have found a buglet:
Code:
[root@haggis util]\$ ./yacleaner-0.4.1alpha --pretend --delete worktmp

These are the old worktmp files that I would delete:

  [ worktmp ]              B
./yacleaner-0.4.1alpha: line 353: 0 + 0 + 0 +  : syntax error: operand expected (error token is " ")
[root@haggis util]\$ ./yacleaner-0.3 --pretend --delete worktmp

These are the old worktmp files that I would delete:

  [ worktmp ]              B
./yacleaner-0.3: line 335: 0 + 0 + 0 +  : syntax error: operand expected (error token is " ")

Works for all other options. Note that I've got no idea what "worktmp" is and whether indeed I have one but it probably ought to fail a bit more gracefully :)

Apart from that, cheers! I cleared out ~0.8G of stuff with it 8)
