Are you paying attention? It can be cleaned up by:

Yes, yes. I know. Your internet connection is only 1 byte per second
so you desperately need to keep useless files around on disk for when
you accidentally type rm -rf /bin.

Right. But I do want to keep only the most current versions.

There used to be a script by Michael Chase called "clean_setup.pl" but
it has disappeared from the web. I have discovered a truly marvelous
copy of it, which the margin of this email is too narrow to contain.
Just kidding -- it's attached. I haven't used it in several years, so
YMMV.

I think he's talking about the old versions of the .bz2 files that live
in the local download folders.
I may have a similar usage pa

Has anyone written a script that will remove older .bz2 files in the
release/ directory on local drives, e.g.
release/bash/bash-3.2.25-17.tar.bz2
release/bash/bash-3.2.33-18.tar.bz2

Sorry that I did not make it clear. What I mean is those source files and not
the installed packages.
Just wonder if there's any way being used by cygwin'ers to handle a lot of
binary sources of different versions after downloading the latest one.

Hi there,
I always keep my CYGWIN packages as "current" as possible. But this turns out
to be a lot of old files left behind/before for me to handle/delete. I really
wonder if there's any available tactics to handle old files and just keep the
latest version.
Thanks!
