SYNOPSIS

9       rpmdev-rmdevelrpms [OPTION]...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       rpmdev-rmdevelrpms  is  a  script  for  finding and optionally removing
13       "development" packages, for example for cleanup purposes before  start‐
14       ing 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
18       "-devel\b",  "-debuginfo\b",  "-sdk\b",  or  "-static\b" (case insensi‐
19       tively) except gcc requirements; any package  whose  name  starts  with
20       "perl-(Devel|ExtUtils|Test)-"; any package whose name starts with "com‐
21       pat-gcc"; packages in the internal list of known  development  oriented
22       packages  (see  def_devpkgs in the source code); packages determined to
23       be development ones based on some basic heuristic checks on  the  pack‐
24       age's contents.
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 ~/.rmdevelrpmsrc.  These files are written in Python.
