NAME
rhona - Utility to clean out old packages
SYNOPSIS
rhona [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
rhona is a utility clean out old packages. It will clean out any binary packages not referenced by a suite and any source packages not referenced by a suite and not referenced by any binary packages. Cleaning is not actual deletion, but rather, removal of packages from the pool to a 'morgue' directory. The 'morgue' directory is split into dated sub-directories to keep things sane in big archives.
OPTIONS
- -n/--no-action
-
Don't actually clean any packages.
- -h/--help
-
Show help and then exit.
CONFIGURATION
rhona uses katie's configuration file. It follows the typical ISC configuration format as seen in ISC tools like bind 8 and dhcpd. Apart from being able to alter the defaults for command line options, the following configuration items are used:
- Rhona::StayOfExecution
-
This is the number of seconds unreferenced packages are left before being cleaned.
- Rhona::MorgueSubDir
-
If not blank, this is the subdirectory in the morgue used to hold removed packages.
DIAGNOSTICS
rhona returns zero on normal operation, non-zero on error.
