Subject: Stmpclean vs. tmpwatch

Hello.

Are there any big advantages of stmpclean in comparison to more
standard tmpwatch?  I tried to google it out but there isn't much
material on this issue, and I believe there is some rationale for
choosing stmpclean over tmpwatch other than first letter `s' standing
for `secure'...

Greets,

P.S.  Current version of Poldek srpm (http://www.pld.org.pl/~mis/poldek/)
      recompiles cleanly without --nodeps or need to change
      BuildRequires -- unnecesary BR on librpm version number is fixed
      now.
