Re: [gentoo-user] /usr/portage size
It's my quick dirty way for cleaning portage tree. Use at your own risk: #rm -rf /usr/portage emerge --sync -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If you have buildpkg in your FEATURES (if you don't know what that is you don't), then everything that you have emerged will be stored in binary form in /usr/portage/packages. eclean (which belongs to app-portage/gentoolkit) can be used to prune those two folders. Everything else in /usr/portage can be restored by emerge --sync if one ever deletes it. It is needed to emerge anything. HtH -- Bo Andresen pgpiVuownWwgy.pgp Description: PGP signature

I always point DISTDIR and PKGDIR to somewhere else, (PORTAGE_TMPDIR too). It is safer to have them on a non-system partition, so you can't cripple your computer if they fill up the partition. -- Neil Bothwick A wok is what you throw at a wabbit. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
