Cron jobs or systemd.timer
--------------------------

You need to run these scripts periodically:

build-cleaner

  Clean up chroots used by devtools: these chroots are re-usable but they can be too many.

  This script comes with lilac and requires root privileges.

lilac-cleaner

  Clean up files downloaded and extracted during packaging. They are in the git repository, side-by-side with PKGBUILDs and built packages.
  
  This script can be run without installing lilac so you can also run this script locally.
  
  This script comes with lilac. Note a ``-f`` argument is needed to actually delete files.

repocleaner

  Clean up old packages inside the package repository.
  
  This script is at `repocleaner <https://github.com/archlinuxcn/misc_scripts/blob/master/repocleaner>`_ and should be edited before running. It should be run with root privileges on the server where the package repository is managed.
