Hello,

I've been wondering about writing a cruft detecting script.. The basic
idea would be:
* Produce a list of every file that Portage claims responsibility for on
the current system (ie. the results of qpkg -l `qpkg -I`)
* Produce a list of every file in the system (ie. find /)
* Remove the first set from the second
* Whatever's left is 'cruft'

The above needs to be tweaked so that find doesn't look in areas that
are not used for system things, eg. /home, /tmp etc.

Has anyone written something like this, and does anyone have any reason
why something like this wouldn't work or be useful?

Cheers,

Andy
