I have a cron job set up to manage this for me:
[mymachine]# crontab -l
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.17498 installed on Wed Oct 20 08:09:26 2004)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp
$)

I only clean the "packages" rather than "all" so as to save having to
re-download the metadata every day if it hasn't changed. And the
packages are much bigger than the metadata anyway.
