Can I rm -rf /var/abs ?

I am trying to clean up a bit my Arch system. /var/abs is occuping 1Gb of my HD, and I don't use it, I prefer installing packages from the repositories. So, can I rm -rf /var/abs ?

Ok, I got the answer on the irc channel...

Sorry, will try to ask there first in the next time!

Usually you can delete /var/abs/local

You can safely delete /var/abs/*. Contents can be restored by running `abs`.
