POUDRIERE-PKGCLEAN(8) System Manager's Manual POUDRIERE-PKGCLEAN(8) NAME poudriere pkgclean -- cleanup old or unwanted packages SYNOPSIS poudriere pkgclean subcommand [options] poudriere pkgclean [options] origin [origin2 [...]] DESCRIPTION This command is used to delete all packages not specified to build. By de- fault packages not listed will be deleted; Listed packages, and their de- pendencies, will be kept. If -C is specified then packages listed on the command line will be deleted rather than kept. Their orphaned dependencies will not be deleted. A sec- ond run with a full list of wanted packages is needed to cleanup orphaned dependencies. Either a subcommand or a list of port origins must be supplied. SUBCOMMANDS -A Remove all packages. -a Keep all known ports in the tree. -f file Absolute path to a file which contains the list of ports to keep. Ports must be specified in the form category/port and shell-style comments are allowed. Multiple -f file arguments may be specified at once. OPTIONS -C Delete the listed packages rather than keep them. This can be used to delete specific packages that need to be rebuilt while keeping them in the port list file. -r can be specified to delete reverse dependencies as well. -J number This argument specifies how many number jobs will run in par- allel for gathering package information. -j name Jail to use for the packages to inspect. -N Do not build package repository when done cleaning. -NN Do not commit, or publish, the repository after it is cleaned. -n Dry run, do not actually delete anything. -O overlay Specify an extra ports tree to use as an overlay. Multiple -O overlay arguments may be specified to stack them. These overlays should be setup with poudriere-ports(8). -p tree Specifies which ports tree to use. (Default: "default") -r When -C is specified then all reverse dependencies will be deleted as well. This can be used to later force rebuild any- thing depending on the listed packages. -R Also clean restricted packages. -u Force rebuilding and signing the repo, even if no change was made. -v This will show more information during the build. Specify twice to enable debug output. -y Assume yes, do not confirm and just delete the files. -z set SET to use for the packages to inspect.
