  • Cleanup after CVS update

    From Kirkman@VERT/GUARDIAN to All on Wednesday, September 17, 2014 17:14:30
    Quick question:

    I run Synchronet on Debian inside VirtualBox on my Mac. I recently upgraded Debian from Squeeze to Wheezy. One thing I noticed was that my disk was
    filling up, so I've been looking for places to slim down.

    One big folder is my /sbbs/src/ folder. So I wanted to ask: after I update
    from CVS, is there a command I can run to empty out the /src/ folder?

    Or do I need to leave everything in there?

    If you're symlinking to the executable output files (e.g. sbbs, libsbbs.so), then you'll need to at the minimum, leave those files which are symlinked (usually into sbbs/exec/), but if you *copied* the files (rather than symlinked), then you should be able to execute a 'gmake [RELEASE=1] clean' to free up some space. But really, it should not be more than a couple of hundred megabytes, which is not considered "big" by today's standards.

    The binaries are likely located in there, so they will need to stay... the gcc.linux.*.exe.* and gcc.linux.*.lib.* are likely symlinked into your exec directory.
