I'm using gentoolkit-0.3.0.7; I upgraded kde from 4.10.3 to 4.10.4, but eclean-dist is not deleting any of the 4.10.3 distfiles Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

This sounds like normal behavior. What is the exact command you are using? eclean does not delete other versions of installed pkgs unless you use the --destructive option. This makes it easier to downgrade without the need to download the sources again.
Hmm I guess I was mistaken then. I ran "eclean-dist", and was not aware that it didn't delete old versions. I find the "--destructive" option misleading, as it doesn't remove anything that's required by the currently installed packages. "eclean-dist -d" seems to do exactly what I want, and it's much faster too.
yeah, --destructive could have been named --minimal, but that's what inherited.
One suggestion is to rename --destructive to --deep (so that -d stays the same), and keep --destructive as alternative syntax for compatibility. Deep as in deep cleaning :)
Since this was a quick and simple change, I've implemented and pushed it into the repository. http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/gentoolkit.git;a=commit;h=0bd71cd8a16b54c9392afa30821e578315d53807 It can be tested with gentoolkit-9999
Released in gentoolkit-0.3.0.8
