Details

With the current cleaning options (-c), trying out fooapp and deciding that
it sucks will keep /var/cache/pacman/pkg/fooapp-1.0.pkg.tar.gz until a new
version of fooapp are in the repos. Since fooapp 1.0 sucks, I probably won't
install it again, and if people tell me that 1.1 kicks ass I'll have to do a
download anyway.
   cleanpkg.sh (0.3 KiB)
This task depends upon

Please reject. I hadn't thought this one out very well; the behaviour makes much more sense on source archives.

I think this is to say that you want to remove binary pkg files from cache if they are not installed on your system or, in other words, you only want to keep binary pkgs for the latest version (-Scc) BUT only for pkgs installed on your system.

Makes sense to me :)
