Description Ryan Tandy 2009-04-21 17:15:06 UTC

when eclean-pkg deletes unused binpkg files, the metadata for them is left intact in the Packages file which could cause problems if that file is then used as a binhost.  a possible fix to this would be to call emaint --fix binhost at the end of each eclean-pkg run; I don't know whether there's some api to accomplish the same.

This should work, according to my preliminary tests. It's not well-tested, though, so take proper precautions before trying it.
