# Pacruft

Print packages whose files have not been accessed in over 6 months (or 

some arbitrary time).

This list is meant to be a best-guess indication of packages which you 

seldom use and could probably do without.

### Usage

    Usage: pacruft [options]

        -y, --years  

        -m, --months 

        -d, --days   

        -h, --help

### Example output

    $ pacruft

    bar

    bmpanel

    chkrootkit

    gmrun

    gtk1-engines

    gtk-rezlooks-engine

    gtk-smooth-engine

    libvisual-plugins

    qingy-theme-arch

    rpmextract

    uudeview

### Notes

A 6 month threshold is the default if no options are passed. One month 

is represented simplistically as exactly 30 days.

Multiple options will sum, so `pacruft -m 6 -d 15` would show packages 

not accessed in the past 195 days (`[ 30 * 6 ] + 15`).

If *any* options are passed, the 6 month default is disabled, so 

`pacruft -d 15` would only represent a 15 day threshold.

Some packages own files unreadable by an unprivileged user. These files 

are ignored and the package is evaluated as if the unreadable file(s) 

didn't exist. Additionally, a package with no readable files will never 

appear as old.

This script only performs reads, so it's *probably* safe to run as root 

to get the most accurate listing.

### Installation

    gem install bundler

    git clone http://github.com/pbrisbin/pacruft && cd pacruft
