(solve) Dupeclean-gui - How does it work?

[eddiemouse]

Good day

I have local repo on my computer, and now there is a lot of duplicate rpms on om harddrive.

I click on "dupeclean" (start -> Software Center -> dupeclean-gui) the apllication runs and report back "No duplicate/multiple versions of rpms found."

but if a look at my local repo folder, there a lot of duplicate rpms.

Is there a way that I can tell "dupeclean" to look at a a curtain folder where my local rpms is stored?

Help!

dupeclean will check for duplicates of installed rpms on your system but it is not designed for your case of searching a directory with rpm-files. To be precise you do not have duplicates but some of these files have the same applications name but a different version number. Since those files are alphabetically listed they should be easy to find and you can then simply delete the older versions.
hope this helps,

If your local repository has duplicate rpms, that means you didn't add the '--delete' option to rsync....

My rule is as follows:
rsync -aP --no-motd --stats --delete distro.ibiblio.org::pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/pclinuxos/2010/ /mnt/repo/repoPCLinuxOS/

=> if you run it this way, it'll automatically delete ALL older rpms, and just have a copy of the current ones...
