Also, packages for uninstalled platforms are not installed. -C saves a copy of the C file used for an update -with a suffix representing the repository url, as in -CI. These can be useful for -fallback information, but if you don't like them accumulating (e.g., -C resolves to many different hosts, each resulting in -a possibly different hash), it's harmless to delete them. +C saves one copy of the main C file used for an +update with a suffix representing the repository url, as in +CI. Thus, even when many +mirrors are used, only one main C backup is kept. For non-main +repositories, which do not generally have (m)any mirrors, no pruning of +backups is done. This action does not automatically add or remove new symlinks in system directories; you need to run C L yourself if you are using -- cgit v1.2.3
