Description Timothy Miller 2010-09-28 16:22:02 UTC
The Gentoo handbook is awesome.  But every now and then, I encounter some tidbit that I really wish had been documented there.  For instance, when I first encountered "eclean distfiles", I discovered that I had 8 gigs of useless out-dated package files on my system.

I would like to suggest that this be added to the docs.

Reproducible: Always

Yes, eclean is part of gentoolkit, the doc is here http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoolkit.xml

but eclean is not documented.
Comment 2 nm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-10-03 18:47:19 UTC
You didn't look hard enough; eclean is already documented in the FAQ:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/faq.xml

However, I did add a section on using eclean to the gentoolkit guide.

Fixed; closing.
