delete-old-debs.py ------------------ Script to remove old deb files from a given list of directories. Tree Packager builds a lot of deb files when running a long time. Not all of them a needed forever. We had a directory with over 13.000(!) deb files eating up 15 GiB of hard disk space. This lead to performance problems and problems generating the corresponding repository. This script enables you only leave the n-th youngest deb files per package in the directory. It may be used inside a cron job to garbage collect old package. Usage: delete-old-debs.py [options] dir ... Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -v, --verbose verbose output -d, --dry-run don't remove the old deb files -k KEEP, --keep=KEEP number of files to keep. Default: 3
