Currently, whichever packages are present in Xorg pkg cache are directly copied over to the ISO.

Can it be made like pacman cache, such that only the latest packages in cache are copied over?

One way to do this in my opinion would be to use paccache on the copied the repo, so that old versions of packages get removed, like:

paccache -rv -k1 -c $XORG_PKG_CACHE

Pull request https://github.com/manjaro/manjaro-tools/pull/85

Not completely tested though.

This makes sense. On my end though the xorg-cache gets always deleted. Please test it and post your result like:

ls [path/to/cache/folder]
[run buildiso]
ls [path/to/cache/folder]

I can confirm something similar happened here too.

I am building and checking at which point the Xorg pkgs get erased.

Dont know if it happened on making above change or was it broken before..

Hmm, this time the packages in xorg cache did not get deleted.

Maybe I had made some mistake the first time..

I used it as follows:

sudo geniso -b stable -p xfce-openrc -x

geniso used above is a wrapper for buildiso which removes custom repo from pacman.conf while building.

Do you use the -c switch in any way?

Anyway, your changes don't harm:

  -> Copying xorg pkgs cache ...
  -> Trimming xorg pkgs ...
==> no candidate packages found for pruning

Please test on your end, if they work for you.

I get the same output as above.

Yes, I used -c.

This is the script I used:
https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=20637.msg198256#msg198256

I will do more testing with this commit and try to find any issues.

I generated some more ISOs and did not face again the issue of Xorg cache being removed.

I will try to do more testing, especially when there is more than one version of a package in xorg cache, before closing this.

This one looks good @aadityabagga
I like it, it removed outdated packages I had in xorg cache.

Remember all, that now cleaning cache must be enabled with -x/-l respectively as opposed to default cleaning previously..

We can reopen at any time, but looks to be working fine so far.
