AKABEI-CLEAN-CACHE(8)

NAME
akabei-clean-cache - Chakra package manager: cache cleaning tool

SYNOPSIS

akabei-clean-cache [actions] [options]

DESCRIPTION

akabei-clean-cache is the cache management tool of the Akabei suite. All packages downloaded by Akabei are saved in the cache directory and used in operations to speed up execution. However, if left unattended the cache will grow a lot in size, occupying vast regions of disk space. This tool allows you to delete the cached packages according to different criteria.

ACTIONS

If run without arguments, the default behavior is to remove all the packages in cache. It is possible to prevent the removal of some specific package file using the --keep-package option. Other possible actions are:

-o, --clean-old
    Cleans only the oldest packages in cache, i.e., those present in the cache for more than 2 weeks.

-u, --clean-unused
    Cleans only the less used packages in cache, i.e., those not requested by any Akabei operation for more than 2 weeks.

-u, --clean-not-installed
    Cleans all not-installed packages from cache.

OPTIONS

Together with the command-line options explained below, more configuration is possible using the [cache] section of the configuration file. See akabei.conf(5) for details on how the cache behavior can be changed.

-c, --cachedir <dir path>
    Sets a different path for the cache directory.

-c, --databasedir <dir path>
    Sets a different path for the database directory.

-k, --keep-package <package name>
    Instructs the cache to never delete the package file corresponding to the specified name, whatever is the action executed.

BUGS

Report any bug in the official Chakra BugTracker, https://code.chakralinux.org in the Akabei section. Try to include as much detail as possible in your explanation.
