|
|
790 | <c>eclean</c> is a tool to remove old source files and old binary packages from |
|
|
791 | your system. |
|
|
792 | </p> |
|
|
793 | |
|
|
794 | <p> |
|
|
795 | When you build and install packages, the source files are downloaded and |
|
|
796 | preserved in DISTDIR, usually <path>/usr/portage/distfiles</path>. This can |
|
|
797 | accumulate several gigs of material over time if you don't clean it |
|
|
798 | periodically. You can run <c>eclean-dist</c> to clean only source files from |
|
|
799 | DISTDIR. |
|
|
800 | </p> |
|
|
801 | |
|
|
802 | <p> |
|
|
803 | You can create archives of installed packages by using <c>quickpg</c> or |
|
|
804 | FEATURES="buildpkg". These archived packages are kept in PKGDIR, usually |
|
|
805 | <path>/usr/portage/packages</path>. When you no longer need to keep them around, |
|
|
806 | or if they're too old, you can run <c>eclean-pkg</c> to remove them from PKGDIR. |
|
|
807 | It's a good way to ensure that any binary packages you have are only the latest |
|
|
808 | versions. |
