A simple script that identifies files not owned and not created by any Arch Linux package.
Run the script as root. See the included man page for options. Care should be taken in deciding which files might be extraneous, particularly when running in strict mode.
This script is only for Linux distros that use pacman for package management. All dependencies are including the Arch Linux base group but are listed out here for general info:
| Executable | Arch package providing |
|---|---|
| bash | bash |
| comm | coreutils |
| find | findutils |
| pacman | pacman |
| sed | sed |
| sort | coreutils |
| tr | coreutils |
| xargs | findutils |
