Bug 49031 – DSTCLEANER a cleaner for DISTDIR and PORTAGE_TMPDIR

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description active 2004-04-26 06:44:49 UTC]

I want to request the adding of an ebuild in the Portage tree.
Name: dstcleaner
Ver: 0.1.1
Homepage: http://unixware.sf.net/dstcleaner/
Location: http://unixware.sourceforge.net/dstcleaner/dstsrc/dstcleaner-0.1.1.tar.gz
Install: it's only a binary file, a README and a ChangeLog. I think binary should go in /usr/sbin and the others in /usr/share/doc...
Requirements:
Perl 5.8.0 (or higher)
Dialog 0.9b (or higher)
Scope: dstcleaner cleans out /usr/portage/distfiles and /var/tmp/portage, using dialog. More info at the main site.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

opps. sory wrong bug. 

[Comment 5 Juan F. Codagnone 2005-08-17 20:44:49 UTC]

technically speaking this bug is not a dup of #47779. dstcleaner is a tool   
than distcleaner.    
   
see the discusion at:   
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/77013

Dstcleaner and distcleaner are two different tools.

[Comment 7 Alec Warner (RETIRED) 2005-10-13 15:29:11 UTC]

My apologies for the incorrect dupe.

[Comment 8 active 2006-05-04 06:07:41 UTC]

I think this bug could be closed. Dstcleaner has become outdated. There are other tools to do the same things as dstcleaner, such as eclean. I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

eclean-dist is part of gentoolkit now
