sce-debpurge

[Jason W]

Right now I am aiming to make a tool that will delete deb packages in the import/debs directory that are not referenced by one's current entries in their debinx* files.  I saw I had 7 differenct iceweasel debs in mine, and a tool to run one command to only keep what will be currently used I think will be helpful.

great idea, i did that manually :-)

It's put into place, works for .deb packages, tar.gz prebuilt ones, and -data.tar.gz data files.

I ran sce-debpurge and it removed some deb's.  I then immediately tried to run it a second time, and it returned an error saying "there is an issue connecting to htp://repo.tinycorelinux.net...exiting.

I repeated this exercise later on a different computer...same result, second attempt fails.

[Jason W]

The script downloads

http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/import/deb2sce.tar.gz

An error downloading that file will produce that error, which means it is a network connection error.

jls@box:~$ sce-debpurge

This tool will remove all non current packages in /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/import/debs?  Do you want to continue? (y/N):y

Is http://ftp.vim.org/os/Linux/distr/tinycorelinux  otherwise accessible?

[jls]

Now it's working.
I propose to  eliminate the request to proceed since if I launch the command I want to purge and also I propose to show only the  packages that are going to be deleted.

[Jason W]

Ok, I had added the listing of those that were current to show progress, but it makes the output unreadalbe, so I agree.

And, since this deletes files I put in the 'are you sure', if no one else objects I will just remove it as this only deletes stale files anyway.

[Jason W]

Ok, done, in git and uploading new cuts.

Also, a list of removed files are listed in /tmp/.debpurged.
