           Summary: Cleanse could clean up /usr/src if TMPFS is on
           Product: Sorcery
           Version: Untargetted future release
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Cleanse

When TMPFS is on, there might be a lot of sources in /usr/src that didn't 
build
for whatever reason. If the sorcery is not configured to delete them right 
away,
maybe cleanse could do that. The script that I use follows. I think 
maintainers
will appreciate this feature-let, I know I would.

#!/bin/sh
DIRECTORIES=$(
mount   | grep
'^[[:alnum:]]+[[:space:]]on[[:space:]]/usr/src/[^/[:space:]]+[[:space:]]type[[:space:]]tmpfs'
| cut -d ' ' -f 3
)
[[ -z "$DIRECTORIES" ]] && exit

umount -v $DIRECTORIES &&
rmdir -v $DIRECTORIES

This appears to only apply to tmpfs.  If we are going to automate this, it
should be more general and probably involve:

touch $SOURCE_DIRECTORY/created-by-sorcery

in PRE_BUILD so that we can know that it was created by sorcery.

Somebody who edits the src and wants to keep it around after the cleanse run 
may
remove the file, and linux sources, etc., that we want to keep around
intentionally can just skip this stage of PRE_BUILD.

Though, I've been deleting /usr/src directories without cleanse for a while,
this could come in as a nice tool for the cleanse swiss-army knife.  The
question is if we want this managed by sorcery.

My concern is that there are things in /usr/src for some people that are not
sorcery's and moreover that somebody may mimick sorcery's tmpfs behavior and
lose work as a result of cleanse.  Cleanse doesn't normally lose anybody's 
work,
so a feature like this should be careful.

Perhaps alternatively if sorcery placed its own extracted source files in a
/usr/src/sorcery-build, we wouldn't even need any fancy features like this and
can just rm -rf the directory when we want to clean up after sorcery.
