Maintenance & System Cleaning

[Das]

I know of a few tools, but what is the best and simplest way to go about maintenance & system cleaning?

Checking broken symlinks, broken dependencies installed and can be removed, best way to uninstall pkgsrc compiled, to remove and clean everything, either 'make deinstall', or 'pkg_delete', and if pkg_delete what would be the best flags for this?

One other thing does someone know how to code 'pkgclean' so it can run?:

'make clean-depends'

make clean seems ok, but it seems like it would be better if 'make clean-depends' could be run also on all the /usr/pkgsrc/paths in case some where missed after doing make install.


Did I miss anything else for keeping a tidy box? If so PLEASE share your ideas, how we can all keep a nice clean BSD.

THANKS

Anyone?

If you tell what tools are using, one can suggest related one.

I have no idea what list you think you are connecting to, but Nabble's habit
of hijacking lists and misrepresenting their contents is getting to be quite
annoying.  This is a mailing list for help with NetBSD.

What the heck are you talking about hijacking? I made a post for NetBSD because I use NetBSD, I'm  not hijacking any threads, sheesh.

Are you guys nutty are what? LOL

I'm asking a NetBSD question and you guys post a link back to my post, hello wakeup people, LOL  :)

So can someone please answer my question dealing with system cleaning and maintenance as it relates to NetBSD, I'd l like to know if there is a way to code "pkgclean" to do "make clean-depends"

THANKS

You are using a thing called "Nabble".  Nabble doesn't provide any actual
mailing lists or forums.  Instead, they hijack other lists and forums and
present a web interface to them.  So, instead of joining the mailing list,
you're using their "service".  It's not that it's your fault, but the Nabble
people have been serious jerks to a number of list managers, and there's
a lot of guilt by association here.

Part of the problem here is the "Anyone?" post.  While Nabble may provide
"context" showing that this was related to your previous post ON THEIR SYSTEM,
there was no connection between that post and anything else in the NetBSD
mailing list, so, for those of us who missed the previous message, all we got
was a completely generic message saying "Anyone?"

On the topic of your original question, I really have no idea what you're
trying to do.  This isn't Windows, and I've never had to "clean" a BSD
system.
