Description Paul Varner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-03-18 14:58:15 UTC
[16:48:33] <willikins> Zero_Chaos: Package: app-admin/perl-cleaner Herd: perl Maintainer: fuzzyray@gentoo.org
[16:48:40] <willikins> Zero_Chaos: (perl) civil, dilfridge, zlogene
[16:48:58] <Zero_Chaos> fuzzyray: would you consider a --delete-orphans option for perl-cleaner? I have a vast desire for one.
[16:50:17] <floppym> --remove-leftovers would fit the existing option set a little nicer.
[16:51:00] <floppym> Or --delete-leftovers
[16:51:48] <Zero_Chaos> fuzzyray: the exact switch name doesn't matter much to me, so the suggestions of --remove-leftovers or --delete-leftovers are fine.

Work in progress...

Though I'd strongly prefer that perl-cleaner only removes *known* leftover files (i.e. has a whitelist of files to remove). This should catch 99% of all cases.
