Bug Description
The problem is each retracer per arch per distro has its own temp directory.
We currently run 4 restracers for 2 architectures
I am seeing 7 distros: elementary 0.2 LinuxMint 12 nagios Ubuntu 10.04 Ubuntu 11.04 Ubuntu 11.10 Ubuntu 12.04 Ubuntu 12.10
Each temp directory is around ~10G
4 x 2 x 7 x ~10GB > 500 GB
Or current disk capacity is 268 GB
The retracer may not have a temp dir in each distro but it potentially can grow to that extent without human intervention.
Can we think of ways to reuse cache directories more eficiently or clean up unused distros after time?
