On my system Iran out of space and was looking at the cause. Tmp was one of the culprits so I instructed the system via the /etc/sysconfig Editor to regularly empty the /tmp and /var/tmp. Looking further I discovered a lot of caches full with older rpm's. Most of these made by zypper. I can of course remove these caches manual but thought that it should also be possible with the above editor. Searched for it without success. Did I overlook something? Should I look into zypper for a cleaning of the caches?
yes, 'man zypper' explains: clean (cc) [options] [alias|name|#|URI] ... Clean the local caches for all known or specified repositories. By default, only caches of downloaded packages are cleaned. -m, --metadata Clean repository metadata cache instead of package cache. -M, --raw-metadata Clean repository raw metadata cache instead of package cache. -a, --all Clean both repository metadata and package caches. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
