pacman-expire-cache

GPL3

pacman-expire-cache is a tool for deleting old cached package files for the pacman package manager. Existing cache cleaners generally offer the ability to retain the latest X versions of each package, or of each installed package. This is not useful in the following cases:

a package has been broken for a while, but not used recently, and has been updated many times recently, such that you only notice the issue once all working versions have been deleted
a package has been accidentally removed, and then an update pushed which breaks it

pacman-expire-cache solves these issues by allowing you to retain, independently:

package files newer than X days
the latest Y versions for each installed package
the latest Z versions for each not-installed package
