Each time dpb(1) is run for a full scan of the ports(7) tree, it appends to the history log, listing files in the distfiles directory that are not, or no longer, needed for building the complete tree. It can also be run solely for that purpose, by using:
When clean-old-distfiles is run later, it
uses the information from the history log to delete unneeded files. When a
file is deleted, the corresponding entry is also deleted from the history
log.
By default, clean-old-distfiles deletes
all files listed in the history log.
If a timestamp is given, it is interpreted
as a number of seconds since the Epoch, similar to the
date(1) -r
argument, and only those files are deleted that were recorded as obsolete at
that time or earlier. It can also be set to a date in ISO8601 format, like
‘2023-07-01’ or ‘2023-07-02T12:00:00Z’.
For normal files, clean-old-distfiles
verifies sha256(1) checksums
prior to removal. It also removes links under
by_cipher/sha256, but it trusts that the checksums
for these are accurate.
