🎀 NAME 🎀

mini-buildd-reject-cleanup — Interactive cleanup of some cruft maybe left over from versions <= 1.0.17.

like... it literally says "maybe" in the official docs. the devs are so real for that 😭

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mini-buildd-reject-cleanup (as user mini-buildd)

that's it. that's the whole vibe. run it as the user mini-buildd and it just... goes. main character energy, no flags, no drama 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓

This is an interactive cleanup of some cruft that maybe got left over from versions <= 1.0.17. (the "maybe" is doing so much heavy lifting here and I respect it)

Back in the day — like, up to version 1.0.17 of mini-buildd — rejected packages got yeeted into the "pkglog" at:

~/var/log/<repoid>/

and here's where it gets messy 🙈 if a reject happened because of a malformed distribution string like 'jessie-uff-unstable', then files would get written for the (phantom) repository id uff — a repo that literally does not exist, bestie, it's giving ghost 👻 — and those files would also never ever get cleaned up. forever. just vibing in there. not slay.

So this script does the detective work: it tries to find these stray directories and then offers to purge them. it asks first tho, bc consent is iconic 🫶

⚠️ heads up babes: it's interactive, so don't pipe it into some automated nonsense and expect it to just go. it wants to talk to you. also it's cleaning up your ~/var/log/<repoid>/ situation, so peek before you purge. no cap. 💀

and that's the whole page, you ate it, no crumbs 💖

this lil icon was brought to you by version 2.... of mini-buildd-reject-cleanup, dated February 2024, and it's from the same System Administration Utilities section we shouted out at the top — mwah, stan, bye bestie 😘👑🦋
