Then this must be a bug report. As I stated in my previous post (see above, I *did* use fink cleanup --all). The sources were present in /sw/src as you indicated. > > If you have problems with disk space, you can remove everything in > /sw/src, except the directory /sw/src/fink.build. > Did that. Now I have most of my space back (other than the generated object files in the subtree of fink.build, I guess). Is it possible to specify that fink discard these object files once it is done building a deb ? Seems kind of wasteful to keep them around. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
