Package: cupt
Version: 1.5.14.1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
Long time no write. Today I learned that my /var/lib/apt/lists was
about three times as large as it ought to be. Running "ls", I found
lists from mirrors I no longer use. "apt-get update" fixed it.
The apt-get(8) manual says:
--list-cleanup
This option defaults to on, use --no-list-cleanup to turn
it off. When on apt-get will automatically manage the
contents of /var/lib/apt/lists to ensure that obsolete
files are erased. The only reason to turn it off is if you
frequently change your source list.
Configuration Item: APT::Get::List-Cleanup.
Perhaps cupt could use the same configuration and semantics? (If so,
I see no reason to make it controllable with a separate commandline
option from -o, on the other hand.)
Thanks again for making cupt. I will have to take the plunge to
trying the C++ version one of these days, and then I will be ready to
start hacking on proper pre-depends support. (I haven't forgotten
about the existing bugs, either; time is just hard to find.)
Ciao,
Jonathan
