I'm trying to free up some space on my hard drive, and noticed that /sw/fink takes up almost 600 MB. I'm running OS 10.3; is is safe to remove the 10.1, 10.2, and 10.2-gcc3.3 directories?
I think that's safe, though if you're updating via CVS it will just download them again. If you're using rsync, I believe they'll stay deleted, but they don't take up all that much room.
Here are some other suggestions:
1) Run 'fink cleanup'. This will remove source tarballs and old .debs you have sitting around.
2) rm -rf /sw/src/*
This will get rid of any failed builds you had, as well as newer source tarballs.
3) 'fink install debfoster', then 'sudo debfoster'. Debfoster lets you pick just the packages you want to keep. Then it will remove other packages which aren't needed. For example, if you installed galeon with Fink, you would also have mozilla installed since galeon needs it. Debfoster will realize that you only have mozilla installed so you can use galeon, and will remove it if you remove galeon.
