I think it is too, but I'm not entirely sure, so I would appreciate a comment
from someone more familar with "man" then I am, that's why I've added d-qa@
to cc:
So far, piuparts has been ignoring left over files with the following
patterns:
"/var/cache/man/(.*)/index.db",
"/var/cache/man/index.db",
(obviously, there are more :)
Looking at the failed piuparts logs, I see there are more with left over files
in /var/cache/man/.*/cat? - should piuparts just ignore /var/cache/man?
Comments welcome.
regards,
Holger
