Subject: [gentoo-dev] [RFC][NEW] Utility to find orphaned files

Hello developers developers and developers,

Ever wondered how much crap is left in your X-years old Gentoo box?

I just developed a python utility to efficiently find orphaned files in
the system. By orphaned files I mean the files that are present on
system directories and don't belong to any installed package.

The package builds a virtual filesystem (cache) on the RAM using python
hash tables. Then it uses the cache to find the ownership of files
inside user-specified dirs.

Building the cache takes less than 10 seconds here in a system with 1366
installed packages.

This is not intended to be a finished program yet, I'm looking forward
for your constructive commentaries.

Regards,
