pkgtools/pkg_distinst 0.02nb10 NetBSD

This is a simple script that will synchronise the content of your ${DISTDIR} directory with currently installed packages.

This script will delete any ${DISTFILE} in ${DISTDIR} that does not currently have an installed package as an owner.

If you play with packages a fair bit and download some just to have a play with and delete the package later your ${DISTDIR} can end up with a lot of orphaned ${DISTFILES}. While lintpkgsrc will help you remove outdated ${DISTFILES} it does not do any correlation with installed packages which is the gap this script aims to fill.

With "lintpkgsrc -or && pkg_distinst --delete" you can and up with a fairly lean and current ${DISTDIR}.
