Description David Carlos Manuelda 2007-08-10 17:15:44 UTC

I suggest:

When a ebuild (or a version) has been removed forever from the tree (for example too old versions of some package), what about adding a function to remove the /var/tmp/portage/distfiles/<file>.<ext>? This could save space.

Reproducible: Always
