It probably should stay away from all dotfiles # eclean-dist * Building file list for distfiles cleaning... * Cleaning distfiles... [ 0L B ] .samba-3.4.12.tar.gz.portage_lockfile [ 779.5 K ] dhcp-3.1.1.tar.gz * Total space that has been freed in distfiles directory: 779.5 K #
fixed in git commit 37f12041c349d6cff5d5d5f4ca5934edc47b06f2 It will delete .dotfiles only during a destructive search, so they are protected by default. I am also checking if there is a good way to find out if there is an active emerge running when eclean starts. You should never run eclean while there is an active emerge running. Or it could delete files needed for the running emerge. In the case of the portage lockfile you mention. If there is not a running emerge, then that lockfile is dead and should be deleted.
