Is it really restricted to the Gentoo repository?

I am in doubt about this change:

user $emerge -C lemmini && eclean-dist -d

 ===========
 [    1.2 M ] Total space from 1 files were freed in the distfiles directory

lemmini-0.86.tar.xz was from a package in java overly.

I admit that I made an assumption about eclean only working for the main Gentoo repo. Since you have tested it and proved what I have said to be incorrect I'll undo my last change noting Gentoo repos. Thanks for your efforts! --Maffblaster (talk) 09:30, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
