NAME
       rpmdev-rmdevelrpms - manual page for rpmdev-rmdevelrpms version 1.13

SYNOPSIS
       rpmdev-rmdevelrpms [options]

DESCRIPTION
       rpmdev-rmdevelrpms  is  a  script  for  finding and optionally removing
       "development" packages, for example for cleanup purposes before	start‐
       ing to build a new package.

       By  default, the following packages are treated as development ones and
       are thus	 candidates  for  removal:  any	 package  whose	 name  matches
       "-devel\b",  "-debuginfo\b",  "-sdk\b",	or  "-static\b" (case insensi‐
       tively) except gcc requirements; any package  whose  name  starts  with
       "perl-(Devel|ExtUtils|Test)-"; any package whose name starts with "com‐
       pat-gcc"; packages in the internal list of known	 development  oriented
       packages	 (see  def_devpkgs in the source code); packages determined to
       be development ones based on some basic heuristic checks on  the	 pack‐
       age's contents.

       The  default set of packages above is not intended to not reduce a sys‐
       tem into a minimal clean build root, but to keep it usable for  general
       purposes	 while	getting	 rid  of a reasonably large set of development
       packages.  The package set operated on can be configured to meet	 vari‐
       ous scenarios.

       To  include additional packages in the list of ones treated as develop‐
       ment packages, use the "devpkgs" option in the configuration file.   To
       exclude packages from the list use "nondevpkgs" in it.  Exclusion over‐
       rides inclusion.

       The  system  wide  configuration	 file	is   /etc/rpmdevtools/rmdevel‐
       rpms.conf,  and	per  user settings (which override system ones) can be
       specified in ~/.config/rpmdevtools/rmdevelrpms.conf or ~/.rmdevelrpmsrc
       (deprecated).  These files are written in Python.
