Hi,

I am using some packages in python3.2 which create a __pycache__ folder. These folders is routinely blocking my updates and I have to remove the folders manually. Are any other among you facing the same problem? If yes, can I automatize it somehow?

Thanks

Hey,

these pycache folders *should* be created with a python setup script [0], which *should* be called in the PKGBUILD during buildtime, so they *should* be part of the package. If not, python creates them during runtime and messes up your system...

So the cleanest way is to write a setup script and send it to the maintainer.

The quicker way is to write a simple script, the checks your file system for disowned files. See: [1]

Or use pacmans -f switch to overwrite them. Cheers, ushi

Thanks for the clarification. I would try to write a script for the package and send it to the maintainer. pacman -f seems a bad option. It seems hazardous to make it a habit. :-( -- Cheers and Regards Jayesh Badwaik stop html mail | always bottom-post www.asciiribbon.org | www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
