>Description:
The cmucl port contains a file /usr/local/lib/cmucl/lib/lisp.core which /etc/periodic/daily/100.clean-disks will remove.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the port and enable 100.clean-disks. The file will be deleted after 3 days.
>Fix:
The file definitions for 100.clean-disks needs modification. Do you exclude .core files or restrict them somehow?

 The cmucl port maintainer has agreed to address this problem.
 
 He will probably rename the offending file but there is a chance that this 
 could affect another package at sometime in the future.

 The port is not at fault.  Quite to the contrary - 100.clean-disks is
 a terrible idea, as it has no way of knowing that the files it deletes
 are truly dross, and not something a developer has spent hours trying
 to provoke so she can analyze it first thing Monday morning.  If disk
 space is really at a premium, use quotas.

 I would agree with DES: 100.clean-disks is a terrible idea. Anyway, I
 would suggest the following patch.
 It sets daily_clean_disks_files to "", so that it will be sysadmin
 business to choose which files are to be removed.
