Re: How to limit pacman cache by size?

Is this past blanked because you found an answer and/or want the topic removed?

If the former, please share your solution (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … way_street), if the latter, use the report button to let the mod team know rather than blanking your post -- we consider post blanking rude.

Re: How to limit pacman cache by size?

Limiting it while it actively attempts to use it isn't really a good idea and dependent on what you actually download, you can however use tools to only keep one version of a package or so, see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … kage_cache

I'm already at one version, and it gets at tremendous size (at my scale)

Just wipe the cache after the update?

Please define 'tremendous size'. I haven't cleared my pacman cache since 2011, and it uses a total of 157G.
