Description
I think it would be good if we add a "Maintenance" section or page which describes or links to some of the important maintenance tasks.
- Updating packages
- Maybe cleaning the xbps cache
- Maybe removing orphaned packages
- Checking for changed configuration files (
xdiff?) - Maybe checking for services that should be restarted (
xcheckrestart?) - Removing old kernels (
vkpurge) - Maybe cleaning up old users and groups
