Description poletti.marco 2013-03-07 13:04:37 UTC

I'm not exactly sure if eclean removes any sources of live packages at all, but on my system I still have at least some of them left, even after cleaning in destructive mode.

For example, I have kde-base/oxygen-icons-4.10.1 installed now, and even after "eclean-dist --destructive" I still have:

 ~ > du /usr/portage/distfiles/svn-src/oxygen-icons-4.10.49.9999/
777M    /usr/portage/distfiles/svn-src/oxygen-icons-4.10.49.9999/

Am I missing something?


Reproducible: Always

Live sources are special since they are not declared in SRC_URI or any other standardized metadata (bug 182028 is about standardization of live ebuilds).

I added a dependency on that bug.
