New bleachbit release including cleaners? #54

Closed nodiscc closed 7 years ago

nodiscc commented 9 years ago

Hi @az0, this took some time but we now have a bunch of good cleaners in the release/ directory. Would you like to release a new bleachbit version with those cleaners added?

I see many people are not aware of this repository (eg. http://www.webupd8.org/2014/10/unity-privacy-indicator-04-released.html, see comments), and there is still no mechanism in bleachbit to add those (I just clone the repo and manually copy files, which is fine, but many people won't bother)

What do you think? It would be cool to have the well tested cleaners in Debian.

az0 commented 9 years ago

Yes, I agree that more cleaners should be moved from CleanerML to BleachBit.

theatre-x commented 9 years ago

There's quite a few in the release and even pending that really ought to get pushed into BleachBit like GNU IceCat. I agree with this.

az0 commented 9 years ago

GNU IceCat needs some work. I noted some FIXMEs here https://github.com/az0/cleanerml/blob/master/pending/gnu_icecat.xml

Does someone want to work on it?

theatre-x commented 9 years ago

I'm on it.

theatre-x commented 9 years ago

Modified the history FIXME. On to the extra cleaning bit.

theatre-x commented 9 years ago

Ahhh s***. It looks like IceCat now uses the ~/.mozilla directory instead of it's own. I'll add the new directories in.

theatre-x commented 9 years ago

From what I see, there's no recovery files with IceCat. There might be but I don't have a clue as to how to produce them.

theatre-x commented 9 years ago

Steam would also be a good one to merge into Bleachbit.

theatre-x commented 9 years ago

There's also a lot of cleaners in BB that I have never known anyone to use nor have used them myself. Maybe we could take some out and leave/add in some cleaners for more reknowned programs like Steam, Firefox, Flash, etc etc.

mikevainio commented 9 years ago

Better solution: Keep all, and have a folder branching from the cleaner folder which would have any cleaner files not in use (managed/moved by BleachBit). Of course this would require a new set of functions/code in BB. I already do this manually with my installs of BBS. Speeds up BB tremendously (winapp2.ini) and far less irrelevant checkboxes. The lesser known cleaners are benefits to anyone that does use them. Another reknown to add: KDE.

@az0 Is it still planned to move cleaners in https://github.com/az0/cleanerml/tree/master/release to https://github.com/az0/bleachbit/tree/master/cleaners?

Thanks

az0 commented 8 years ago

@nodiscc Rather than just shipping all the CleanerML cleaners with BleachBit, I'd like to make an online update system like BleachBit has today for Winapp2.ini. But I'd like to make it better than that.

ROCKNROLLKID commented 7 years ago

Plans for a CleanerML updater was created a some time ago here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bleachbit/+bug/1448321

Keeping them in CleanerML would be better because then we can add the updater and people can get new cleaners as soon as they are ready, instead of waiting months for a new cleaner or a modified one.

I don't think this ticket is necessary anymore.
