Hi, Is there a way to clean the portage cache, leaving there only the last version of the files? My cache is about 2Gb big... Thanks

Are you talking about the distfiles directory? 2Gb seems large for the portage cache.

If you just want to delete the source packages that you don't have installed anymore, this script will help:

distclean.py

You can also safely delete everything in /var/tmp/portage/
