ABS Cleanup Script

well, i noticed i had only 500 MB free on my root partition, so i decided to go and clean out my /var/abs (freeing up roughly 2 gigs). Here is a bash script i wrote to remove the src/ and pkg/ recursively from your abs root. (it also cleans out your unstable, extra and other repositories abs looks at)

#!/bin/bash
source /etc/abs/abs.conf
cd $ABSROOT
for h in $(ls /etc/abs/supfile* | sed 's/./ /g' | gawk '{print $2}'); do pushd $h
        for i in *; do pushd $i
                for j in *; do pushd $j
                        rm src/ pkg/ -rf && popd; done; popd; done; popd; done 

Oh yeah, you need gawk for it to work.

Not anymore

< for h in $(ls /etc/abs/supfile* | sed 's/./ /g' | gawk '{print $2}'); do pushd $h
---
> for h in "${SUPFILES[@]}"; do pushd "${h#!}"

BTW, there is no /var/abs/arch directory...

Re: ABS Cleanup Script

The above scripts did not work for me. So I've written my own one. It's much longer but for me as a beginner in scripting it's easier to understand and modify.

#!/bin/bash
source /etc/abs/abs.conf
echo "ABSROOT="$ABSROOT
cd $ABSROOT

before=`du -csh $ABSROOT`
echo "space used now" $before; sleep 5

# current
for toppath in `ls -1 $ABSROOT -I community -I extra -I local -I testing -I install.proto -I PKGBUILD.proto`; do
    echo "toppath is" $toppath
    cd $ABSROOT/$toppath
        for subpath in *; do
            cd $ABSROOT/$toppath/$subpath
            rm -rf pkg/ src/ filelist && echo $ABSROOT/$toppath/$subpath "clean now"
            cd ..
        done
    cd ..
done

# extra
cd $ABSROOT/extra
for toppath in `ls -1 $ABSROOT/extra`; do
    echo "toppath is" $toppath
    cd $ABSROOT/extra/$toppath
        for subpath in *; do
            cd $ABSROOT/extra/$toppath/$subpath
            rm -rf pkg/ src/ filelist && echo $ABSROOT/extra/$toppath/$subpath "clean now"
            cd ..
        done
    cd ..
done

# community
cd $ABSROOT/community
for toppath in `ls -1 $ABSROOT/community`; do
    echo "toppath is" $toppath
    cd $ABSROOT/community/$toppath
        for subpath in *; do
            cd $ABSROOT/community/$toppath/$subpath
            rm -rf pkg/ src/ filelist && echo $ABSROOT/community/$toppath/$subpath "clean now"
            cd ..
        done
    cd ..
done

# testing
cd $ABSROOT/testing
for subpath in *; do
    cd $ABSROOT/testing/$subpath
    rm -rf pkg/ src/ filelist && echo $ABSROOT/testing/$subpath "clean now"
    cd ..
done


# local / AUR
cd $ABSROOT/local
#removes the downloaded AUR build stuff 
ls -l *.tar.gz
rm -f *.tar.gz
for subpath in `ls -1 $ABSROOT/local -I install.proto -I PKGBUILD.proto`; do
    cd $ABSROOT/local/$subpath; pwd
    rm -rf pkg/ src/ filelist && echo $ABSROOT/local/$subpath "clean"
    cd ..
done

after=`du -csh $ABSROOT`
echo "used space before cleaning"        $before
echo "used  space now"               $after

Re: ABS Cleanup Script

what happened to being super lazy?

# rm -rf /var/abs
# abs

Re: ABS Cleanup Script

it may be semi - 40% - 32% - 58.9% usefull to set the PKGDEST variable in makepkg.conf so that all packages are moved to that location instead of being scattered all over your abs tree.
