[gentoo-user] cleaning up my gentoo

[gentoo-user] cleaning up my gentoo

[Pawel K]

Hello
I would like to clean up my gentoo installation. I'm
using it for more than a year and now I would like to
make it thiner.
I'm aware of some tools doing that:

emerge deepclean
rm /usr/portage/disfiles/*

What about old ebuilds in /usr/portage/ directory
should they be removed as well.
What about other things that I'm not aware of.

Is there any common procedure/script/command for
cleaning up my gentoo.

I've already performed all above steps and I'm asking
about what else should be done to clean up my gentoo
and maybe make it thiner without decreasing its
functionality.

Thank You for any Help

They should be automatically removed with rsync.

You may find A LOT of these scripts at the Gentoo Foruns. Take a look there...

Don't forget eclean too.  eclean-pkg and eclean-dist to be more exact. 
That will take care of the distfiles and any packages you may have.  Be
carefull with that depclean.  It can get ugly.  o_O

Does this mean that they are removed during
"emerge-webrsync" as well ?
