Project Description

A local RMT mirror will run out of space at some point because rpm files, which are not referenced by repomd.xml anymore, are left behind.

A local SMT server had the 'clean' command, which took care of such orphaned files.

Goal for this Hackweek

Regain a terabyte.

Result

A github issue #662 exists already.

My script would remove just 711GB. So one could say: goal not reached...

Looking for hackers with the skills:

      I had a "hack" for this problem before (without adding a new command). https://github.com/bk201/rmt/commit/a33ebca37f1a606a8d0b1c68cf5d94e4fd5c3067
