It should, and you can then do: rm -rf /usr/portage.old -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Cleaning up portage
I did a df h on my system today and I only have 300 megs left on /usr So I went into /usr/portage and ran du sh and it shows as 1.5G I then went into /usr/src and ran du sh and it shows as 1.5G also Granted this is a small box 5 Gigs for /usr Should I delete all the outdated sources in /usr/src to gain space and if so will is a simple rm rf linux-2.6.outdated work? Next, what will happen if I rm rf /usr/portage will the next emerge sync rebuild it? Where should I check to get some disk space back? IIt seems most of the space that is being taken up is /usr/portage and /usr/src Thanks. CR.
Re: [gentoo-user] Cleaning up portage
emerge sync cleans up after itself. Rather, rsync takes care of that, so do not expect to gain too much. Cleanup of kernels is good, if they are portage managed than you can do something akin to this: emerge -c =gentoo-sources-version-revision e.g. To remove all of these kernels linux-2.6.14-r1 linux-2.6.14-r2 linux-2.6.14-r4 linux-2.6.14-r7 linux-2.6.12-r1 linux-2.6.13-r1 emerge -c ~sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.14 \sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.14 Exciting. thanks, joshua -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Try using yacleaner to clean out obsolete distfiles- works great, and I've tried them all- this is the best IMO! Also cleans out other junk too. It's usually good for about 1GB if you haven't cleaned up stuff in a while. Look on forum for link to download. I use version 3.1- the more recent ones have had problems.

It's safe to clean that. Cleanup of kernels is good, if they are portage managed than you can do something akin to this: emerge -c =gentoo-sources-version-revision I think you mean -C You need to manually remove the directories after, to get rid of the objects and temporary files generated in compilation. Actually, you should do the remove operation first, because then the unmerge is quicker. Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
