app-portage/gentoolkit contains eclean. From the man page; "eclean is small tool to remove obsolete portage sources files and binary packages. Used on a regular basis, it prevents your DISTDIR and PKGDIR directories to infinitely grow, while not deleting files which may still be useful" HTH, Adam -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
