[OE-core] [PATCH 0/1] scripts: Add cleanup-downloads-dir tool

[Laurentiu Palcu]

Hi all,

A few days ago I noticed I had no space on disk and decided to make some
space. Since my downloads directory was never deleted since denzil, it
consumed 25GB of space which I needed. However, I wanted to delete only old
and unneeded tarbals/git repos and keep the ones that my current Yocto
version needed, so I wrote this tool.

After running it, my downloads size became 7GB.

I also tested on a brand new downloads directory, after doing a
core-image-minimal build, and it didn't find any obsolete files (which
is kind of normal). :)

I hope someone finds it helpful. Also, I encourage you to give it a
test. Don't worry, it will not delete anything unless you allow it and
you can review the list of files to be removed. If you see anything
suspicious, let me know.
