Looks like you still have multiple SLOTted versions of sys-kernel/gentoo-sources that you're keeping around. Does eclean want to keep them around even after you have unmerged the older versions?
If I understand (no guarantee of that), I would have them slotted if I used slots in /var/lib/portage/world (which I don't - that is why I included that line). I emerged one of the older versions (emerge -C gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r10 ), and now eclean does suggest: [ 409.7 K ] genpatches-2.6.27-12.base.tar.bz2 [ 40.5 K ] genpatches-2.6.27-12.extras.tar.bz2 [ 46.4 M ] linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2 [ 48.0 M ] linux-2.6.27.tar.bz2 so that did change things a bit. I thought I saw the same behavior (don't remember for sure - wish I had paid more attention) with another package (one that couldn't be slotted at all). eclean only wanted to remove the oldest version in /usr/portage/distfiles (leaving multiple newer versions).
you did not say what version of gentoolkit this was, but... throw_away_2000, I am nearing the end of a modular re-write of ecclean. I did find a few holes in the logic, but they would have removed sources for deprecated packages that were still installed. There were some other changes to the search logic to tighten it up. I would appreciate some additional testing to see if the output of eclean -dp distfiles improves for you or if you find any errors. the development repo can be found at http://code.google.com/p/genscripts/ the eclean re-write is in branches/getntoolkit_eclean/ it does not need to be installed to run. just follow the instructions at the above address to create and source a file with the correct paths for it to find the files. It will need to be edited to find the branches/gentoolkit_eclean/.... It will print an extra line at the beginning to inform you it is the development sources being run. Although I have the code complete for distfiles I would not recommend running it without the -p --pretend switch. Thank you
(In reply to comment #3) > you did not say what version of gentoolkit this was, but... That I can answer. app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.4.5 I am away for the week (and then will have a ton of stuff to do when I return), but will try to take a look at youc development version. No way I get to it before the weekend, though. Thanks.
It is in the -0.3.0_rc10 release that's just been committed.
