Hello,

This is interesting.

That's a mild way of putting it, I think. :-)

On an IPFire installation that has been around since Core Update 110 (released April 28, 2017), these files have been identified as being orphaned, comparing to a fresh installation of Core Update 164.

To avoid such a list of files agglomerating, persons responsible for a Core Update should check whether an updated package contains deleted files in its rootfile. If so, they should be deleted on existing systems via update.sh as well.

These should have been gone before. Ideally by the filesystem cleanup script.

To be honest, I never had a look at this script, and therefore do not have an idea what it does and what it does not. I will investigate and get back to you, if necessary.

Why can we not delete /usr/lib/python3.8 as a whole? This should not be needed any more.

Yes, good point. I was running the comparison based on Core Update 164, but with Python being updated to 3.10.x in Core Update 165, this folder won't be necessary anymore completely.

What method did you use to identify all these files?

On the IPFire installation in question, I ran

...

find bin/ etc/ lib/ opt/ run/ sbin/ srv/ usr/ var/ | sort > ~/ist

and scp'ed that file onto my workstation. Then, I downloaded the ISO for Core Update 164 (because I wanted to have something stable, which is why I did not choose C165 for this), installed it in a VM, rebooted it, mounted the root partition and executed the same find command with a different file name.

Okay, so this is based on a random system. Not bad, but would be better if we could diff two filelists from two core updates, wouldn’t it?

I am not sure if I understood you here: The filelist above contains all leftovers that have agglomerated since Core Update 110. Comparing two filelists would only cover a fraction of it, since this comparison cannot skip any update.

However: Do you see a feasible way to obtain such lists, and perhaps scipt the generation of such a list of orphaned files?

Yes, we could use “git archive” to create a tarball from any branch, so in this case a core update from the past.

We could then only extract (or directly send to stdout) all files in config/rootfiles/command, sort the output and compare it to what is currently in config/rootfiles/common. Stretch goal is doing this for all architectures :)

Here is the command for the main file list:

git archive origin/core160 | tar --extract --to-stdout config/rootfiles/common | grep -v "^#" | sort -u

This could be integrated into make.sh :)
