The purpose of this script is to be ran against a directory containing versioned files
that have the same base name. In instances where you are dumping packages such as RPMs
or DEB files to a repository server, and want to keep the last 5 or 10 builds, but clean
anything older than that, then this script will do just that. It can be ran against a
directory and given 2 arguments, the first being the file name, the second being the
number of previous versions that you would like to keep.
1. Copy the script:
Copy the script and place it either in the directory that is being cleaned or
in a separate directory if it will be used to clean multiple directories.
Lets clean this directory up using the script, feeding it the 2 required arguments.
2. Prepare to run the script:
In this example we will look at a directory containing 9 rpms that came from jenkins builds
and were deposited into the proper yum server directory.

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 77K May 19 14:12 fuse-2.9.4-29.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 77K May 19 14:12 fuse-2.9.4-30.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 69K May 19 14:12 fuse-2.9.5-1.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 335K May 19 14:12 fuse-2.9.5-2.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 335K May 19 14:12 fuse-2.9.5-3.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 335K May 19 14:12 fuse-2.9.5-4.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 31K May 19 14:12 fuse-2.9.5-5.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 31K May 19 14:12 fuse-2.9.5-6.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 32K May 19 14:12 fuse-2.9.5-7.x86_64.rpm
3. Run the script:
Running this statement should run through the directory and keep the latest 5 copies
of the RPMs in the directory, while removing anything more than the selected 5.
This script will prompt you to ensure that the files that it has selected to remove are correct. You can avert this by running the script piping the answer into it
i.e echo "y" | ./clean.sh fuse 5
./clean.sh fuse 5
List of files that have been saved:
-----------------------------------
fuse-2.9.5-7.x86_64.rpm
fuse-2.9.5-6.x86_64.rpm
fuse-2.9.5-5.x86_64.rpm
fuse-2.9.5-4.x86_64.rpm
fuse-2.9.5-3.x86_64.rpm
List of files that have been removed:
-------------------------------------
fuse-2.9.5-2.x86_64.rpm
fuse-2.9.5-1.x86_64.rpm
fuse-2.9.4-30.x86_64.rpm
fuse-2.9.4-29.x86_64.rpm
Would you like to delete the files in the delete list? (Y/y|N/n)
y
removed ‘fuse-2.9.5-2.x86_64.rpm’
removed ‘fuse-2.9.5-1.x86_64.rpm’
removed ‘fuse-2.9.4-30.x86_64.rpm’
removed ‘fuse-2.9.4-29.x86_64.rpm’
4. Verify:
List the directory and ensure that the files that were removed were correctly removed.
