There is a TreeCleaner Project overlay; but I was planning on placing
tools in it; I may be convinced to add the ebuilds (and their files)
that we clean to it; assuming it doesn't take anyone that long to do it;
the problem being for some things that live only on our mirrors; the
ebuilds won't work as the files get purged after two weeks. Let me
consider this though; if we can script it somehow it would maybe benefit
others (a treecleaner poopy overlay for Layman also...)
That would be an awesome idea. I have never been a fan of cleaned ebuilds moving to the CVS attic and I have had to fetch some old ebuild and associated patches from the portage's CVS Attic on 2 occasions and it was a major pain.
