[arch-general] [News] DigitalOcean "supporting" Arch Linux

[Eduardo Machado via arch-general]

Hi folks,

Firstly, i am not a digitalocean affiliated, but i use their services.
A long time ago, Arch Linux was one the supported OSes, latter they dropped
this support.
Now, although it is not officially supported again they just launched the
ability to upload Custom Images into DigitalOcean. You can now import the
OS of your choice directly into DigitalOcean and start a Droplet. [1]

Sorry to hijack this trhead,

but so that pacman does not clean automagically this kind of packages. What
is the recommended way to keep a clean box?
