I've been running fou4s for a while now and its cache has grown very large! First, I did a fou4s --cleancache which didn't help much. So I got desperate and did: # cd /var/cache/fou4s/packages/mirror.aarnet.edu.au/i386/update/8.0 # rm patches/* # fou4s -u # for r in */*.rpm ; do > egrep "^InstPath: $r\$" patches/* || rm $r > done # Quick and dirty hack; I know. I really should have sorted through the files in patches/* and worked out the version numbering... Well; I've got 300MB of disc space back now. Maybe somebody can integrate the hack ... or just keep it quiet ;-) -- /"\ Bernd Felsche - Innovative Reckoning, Perth, Western Australia \ / ASCII ribbon campaign | I'm a .signature virus!
