perl-cleaner problem

[southern-tools]

Dear Sakaki,

Thank you for sharing this tools.

I use your repo sakaki-tools (efi system) and I noticed a problem that apparently has no solution:

pearl-cleaner (called by genup) is allways rebuilding some packages (in my case, texinfo, rxvt-unicode, weechat). As I have a cron job (daily) for genup and also an SSD drive, I am worried about it.

I know it is not about your script, but the forum seem not to worrie about this problem and I also assume it could be risky for solid state drives on the long term (at least it is annoying). Genup is wonderful and I want to keep using it.

Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you in advance,

All the best,

Diego Samuelle

You could simply run genup with the -p (--no-perl-cleaner) option to avoid calling invoking perl-cleaner as part of the process. Then, every so often (if you wish) invoke perl-cleaner manually.

Dear Sakaki, Thank you very much for your response, I will change my cronjob this way. Your work is awesome! Diego 2018-03-16 10:57 GMT+01:00 sakaki <notifications@github.com>:

31 Oct 2020: sadly, due to legal obligations arising from a recent change in my 'real world' job, I must announce I am standing down as maintainer of this project with immediate effect. For the meantime, I will leave the repo up (for historical interest, and since the ebuilds etc. may be of use to others); however, I plan no further updates, nor will I be accepting / actioning further pull requests or bug reports from this point. Email requests for support will also have to be politely declined, so, please treat this as an effective EOL notice.

For further details, please see my post here.

If you have used my EFI Guide (and this repo) to install your PC-based Gentoo system, it should still continue to work for some time, but you should now take steps to migrate to a baseline Gentoo Handbook install (since the underlying tools, such as buildkernel, will also now no longer be supported and may eventually fail as more modern kernels etc. are released).

With sincere apologies, sakaki ><
