Hi folks,


I'd like to automatic purging of portage's temporary files from
time to time (eg. nightly). But this doesn't work since downloaded
uncompressed files have their original timestamps, not the time
of fetch/uncompress.

Is there any way to tweak this to the current timestamp ?


thx

What's wrong with

pgrep emerge || rm -fr $(portageq envvar PORTAGE_TMPDIR)/portage

Can't you just check the timestamp of the containing directories?

This removes everything in /var/tmp/portage. I don't want this,
just those which have certain age (eg. 1 day), otherwise it
could interfere w/ running builds. And it also doesn't clean
old distfiles.

Meanwhile I've learned about $FETCHCOMMAND(_*), but this
doesn't seem to get the URI passed

Good point, at least for the tmpdir stuff

It won't interfere with running ebuilds, because pgrep emerge will cause
it to exit if emerge is running. Deleting anything over a day old is
dangerous, think openoffice on a slow/loaded machine. ebuilds should
clean up after themselves, so you only get cruft in $PORTAGE_TMPDIR when
an ebuild fails.

No, it doesn't clean distfiles, but you didn't ask about them, use eclean
for that.

As long as you do not move you can still choose any direction.

Ah, I missed that point ;-o

Therefore I'm using more than one day. Actually, I don't use
overbloated stuff like OO ;-P

Right, but this tends to be quite often in the last time

hmm, won't help me very much, since I don't want to keep distfiles
for already installed packages, but those which are scheduled
for update (running nightly emerge -uDF world).
