fom: Pacman Cache Cleaner
fom
fom is a bash script that keeps a certain number of cached packages per install. It uses regex to grab base package names from package files and counts them. I've tested the regex to work on all my packages, but I'm not sure I've covered all corner cases. I would recommend running the test script to see what it tells you.
It's a small and sane way to keep some backups since pacman just nukes all of them.
