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.
