Re: Possible zef addition

Sort of, except you really want it to be done at the end of the current
request. (auto-cleanup doesn't seem to do that, setting it to 0 turns it
off).

When you're building a docker image you really want to make sure the end of
every command only the things the NEED are in the filesystem as a snapshot
is taken at the point. If you're wanting to reduce container size this is
important.

I might take a look at zef today if I have time and see if I can work out a
simple version.

Something like cpanm's work directory auto-cleanup mechanism?

Possible zef addition

[Simon Proctor]

So I'm playing around with Docker files (Perl 5 ATM) and one thing I'm
getting quite into is trying to keep them small. An important part of this
is deleting any extraneous caching info built up during the build,
preferably as part of the RUN step to get intermediate layers small.

(So with Perl5 and cpanm `rm -rf ~/.cpanm` is your friend).

Anyhoo, my thought was could we add something to zef to do this? Either a
flag or a new command to auto clean up the ~./zef folder.

Yes I know rm -rf ~/.zef is simple to type but if it was built into the
command it would show forward thinking. Or something.

It's 5am and I couldn't sleep. This is the kind of idea I get.
