paccache

A flexible pacman cache cleaning utility.

• Remove all but the 3 most recent package versions from the pacman cache:

paccache -r

• Set the number of package versions to keep:

paccache -rk {{num_versions}}

• Perform a dry-run and show the number of candidate packages for deletion:

paccache -d

• Move candidate packages to a directory instead of deleting them:

paccache -m {{path/to/directory}}
