SYNOPSIS

9       rpmdev-rmdevelrpms [options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       rpmdev-rmdevelrpms is a script for finding and optionally removing "de‐
13       velopment" packages, for example for cleanup purposes  before  starting
14       to build a new package.
15
16       By  default, the following packages are treated as development ones and
17       are thus candidates for removal: any package whose name  matches  "-de‐
18       vel\b",  "-debuginfo\b",  "-sdk\b", or "-static\b" (case insensitively)
19       except gcc requirements; any package whose name starts with  "perl-(De‐
20       vel|ExtUtils|Test)-";  any package whose name starts with "compat-gcc";
21       packages in the internal list of known  development  oriented  packages
22       (see  def_devpkgs in the source code); packages determined to be devel‐
23       opment ones based on some basic heuristic checks on the package's  con‐
24       tents.
25
26       The  default set of packages above is not intended to not reduce a sys‐
27       tem into a minimal clean build root, but to keep it usable for  general
28       purposes  while  getting  rid  of a reasonably large set of development
29       packages.  The package set operated on can be configured to meet  vari‐
30       ous scenarios.
31
32       To  include additional packages in the list of ones treated as develop‐
33       ment packages, use the "devpkgs" option in the configuration file.   To
34       exclude packages from the list use "nondevpkgs" in it.  Exclusion over‐
35       rides inclusion.
36
37       The  system  wide  configuration  file   is   /etc/rpmdevtools/rmdevel‐
38       rpms.conf,  and  per  user settings (which override system ones) can be
39       specified in ~/.config/rpmdevtools/rmdevelrpms.conf or ~/.rmdevelrpmsrc
40       (deprecated).  These files are written in Python.
