This is just a simple script to recover diskspace wasted for unneeded locale files and localized man pages. It will automagically be invoked upon completion of any apt installation run.

localepurge: Disk space freed in /usr/share/locale: 22897K
Fixed localepurge to work for maemo thanks to sparr and timeless.

Install pcregrep from http://repository.maemo.org/pool/mae.../free/p/pcre3/ and colour-ls from http://www.nitapps.com/dists/chinook....0-1_armel.deb

After that, install the attached deb.

If you use a language on your device that is not english, it is IMPORTANT that you edit /etc/locale.nopurge and add your locale code there before running localepurge or using apt-get.

After that, run "localepurge && docpurge" in a terminal and watch the diskspace come back .
