Old packages cleaning utility.

Hi, all.

I wrote small program for cleaning local repository from old packages (usually I save cached packages). May be it will be useful.

Project page - http://code.google.com/p/repo-clean/
In AUR:
repo-clean - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16692
repo-clean-svn - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16670

Re: Old packages cleaning utility.

neat!
i dont like the fact that scons is a makedepend.
also i assume its written in some programming language (assume c++ and python) in which it should depend to

Scons must be in makedepend, because this project builds with scons Dependencies about gcc in makedepend fixed now.

Re: Old packages cleaning utility.

Hello,

thank you for your contribution. I think the makedependency to gcc is not needed, because gcc is in base-devel and everyone who uses AUR is adviced to have these packages installed. The dependency to pacman also is not needed - everyone who wants to use a package has to have pacman.

I also suggest to put || return 1 behind the scons line and the cp line.

I have a problem: in my repo there are the following packages:

[haawda@bertrand repo-clean]$ ls /opt/repo/cow*
/opt/repo/cowbell-0.2.7.1-4-i686.pkg.tar.gz
/opt/repo/cowbell-svn-30-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
/opt/repo/cowbell-svn-33-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
[haawda@bertrand repo-clean]$

So I suppose repo-clean should delete /opt/repo/cowbell-svn-30-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz, since it is an older version of /opt/repo/cowbell-svn-33-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz. But it does not.

Thanks for advice. I take notice to it.

/opt/repo/cowbell-svn-33-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
[haawda@bertrand repo-clean]$

By default repo-clean run in dry-run mode - only show packages with more than one versions and mark newest. For  cleaning you must use -mc flag.

Sorry, I was not clear enough: it does not show them up.
