Just tried it out and seems handy. Got rid of 640M old distfiles in 15 secs 
Nice job
I wish there was something like that for binary packages (in /usr/portage/packages/All), as well. |

| If you feel like it, I think a feature to ignore certain files you don't want removed would be useful. |

Whats the point of this script really?
rm /usr/portage/distfiles/* & rm -fdR /usr/portage/packages/*
Nice use of colors and looks good though!
Maybe add some more features, it would be cool! |

As far as I can tell, this script does not delete the distfiles for installed packages. Say there is a new revision of a large package, such a xorg, which only requires that another patch is downloaded. If you do rm /usr/portage/distfiles/* you will have to download the whole source again, which is a pain on slower connections.

| I think this should be implemented into emerge, when you emerge -C [package] all [package]-version's distfiles are removed. That would save a lot of space, and keep the packages that might be revised. However, I usually delete all my distfiles. |

Check the new version of Yet Another Cleaner which can delete old dist and binpkg files, and also can clean temporary directories like /var/tmp/portage and /var/log/portage.

Hi, thanks for it, I am giving it try. I used distclean-0.2.py before so there should be nothing to delete in my disfiles, but:
| Code: | # ./yacleaner-0.2 --verbose --ask dist
These are the old dist files that I would delete:
[ dist ] svn-src 28M
[ total ] 27 M
Do you want me to delete these old dist files? [Yes/No] |
| Code: |
# emerge info | grep DIST
DISTDIR="/mnt/mandrake/opt/distfiles"
# ls -l /mnt/mandrake/opt/distfiles/svn-src
celkem 0

svn-src is directory, which was created by emerging unofficial amarok-svn ebuild. Its considered to be deleted becouse amarok-svn is not in my system right now? Dont think so, becouse in cvs-src I have also (among others) directory e17 and also x11-wm/e is not emerged right now. |

Excelent annotation. Well I will work on cleaning -cvs and -svn distfiles for the next release (v4), also it would be more faster.
Fixed in new version (v3). Also in v2 is fixed.

The SHA-1 checksum for 0.2.1 is invalid
yacleaner-0.2.1.sha1 contains:
45e92d86fa77d2c169160e5279b534150cee6987
but yacleaner-0.2.1 has the following checksum:
57726243730434286d8ef1b5abc976e62980de58
... and I just noticed that 0.2.1 doesn't contain anything new over 0.2, so never mind :)
Thanks for the tool
... ok, further to the confusion ... the sha1 file for 0.2 contains the sha1sum for 0.2.1 !

Works beautifully, even the countdown is now the right way round ;)
It's refreshing not to have to wait for python to load each time, just to do a simple task.
Only one thing to point out: you report the actual file size, not the space used on disk. Would it not be better to show the actual space used? (and thus saved), or maybe both :)
I noticed this when I tried it just now, and it reported 48 bytes to clean. The file was the cvs-src directory, which is actually using 8192 bytes on my filesystem:
| Code: | # stat /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src
<snip>
Size: 48 Blocks: 1 IO Block: 8192 directory
<snip> |

I'd really like to try this out, but it seems the site is down. Are there any mirrors?

Hi again, its really great that you listen and improve. Thats why I am here and prefer your cleaner above other. So thanks again.
But bad news, about cvs and svn directories. Here is output from both versions:
| Code: | # yacleaner-0.2.1 --ask --verbose dist
These are the old dist files that I would delete:
[ dist ] fluxbox-0.9.12.tar.bz2 637K
[ dist ] htop-0.5.tar.gz 120K
[ total ] 0 M
# yacleaner-0.3 --ask --verbose dist
These are the old dist files that I would delete:
[ dist ] cvs-src 116M
[ dist ] fluxbox-0.9.12.tar.bz2 637K
[ dist ] htop-0.5.tar.gz 120K
[ dist ] svn-src 28M
[ total ] +119 M
# ls -l /mnt/mandrake/opt/distfiles/cvs-src/

drwxr-sr-x 5 root portage 120 Apr 17 04:16 e17

drwxr-sr-x 9 root portage 896 Jul 6 19:38 sim
|
v0.2.1 will do, what I need. cvs+svn will stay. But v0.3 want delete everything. But sim, linuxdcpp krusader and kazehakase is still on system. Is it OK? New feature? Am I missing something? Thanks for reply. |

Hmmm... let me work on that.

Yugg, cvs-src and svn-src should not be deleted. Please Re-download yacleaner-0.3 or grab yacleaner-0.3.1 |

I updated to v0.3.1 and am happy again.
| tacvbo wrote: | | Well I will work on cleaning -cvs and -svn distfiles for the next release (v4) |
Before you begin work on it:
Is it what most people using cvs versions want? What about people, who love app X-cvs, but due few crashes they will go back to stable for while and cvs-repository will be lost. They have to redownload it after they decide to be on bleeding edge again. I still prefer to manage cvs-src myself, as its only few directories. Hope you understand me. Maybe I am alone. What do you (or others) think about it. Thanks. |

Heh... not to be a pain, but neither of those are working right now either. Do I just have really bad timing?
edit: Nevermind, just got one of them to work.

You are not alone .
I was thinking on it and your statement is good enough to leave (cvs|svn)-src untouched. If other people thinks different I'm open to suggestions.
Meanwhile, that dirs will be untouched (also because I have no idea how to deal with them).
Thanks for testing and using it! |

The only comment I have is THANKS!
The new version is commented perfectly, runs very fast, and has intuitive options.
Took about 170 megs off my system. Very nice job, tacvbo.
