Uninstall packages not listed in packages.cson

[jbhannah]

Adds a setting that, when enabled, uninstalls packages missing from packages.cson on sync. Fixes #11.

[lee-dohm]

Can you resolve the conflicts here and add some specs?

[jbhannah]

Will-do. I did add a spec for the inverse case of getMissingPackages, any other in particular you're looking for?

[dsifford]

Any status updates on this? This feature alone will convert me from sync-settings to this package.

[dsifford]

Scratch the urgency. I just dropped this little script in my ~/bin directory and it seems to do the job just fine with this package installed.

ATOM-ORPHANED

#!/usr/bin/node
const fs = require('fs');
const { HOME } = process.env;
const haystack = fs.readFileSync(`${HOME}/.dotfiles/packages.cson`, 'utf8');
const hs = haystack.match(/"(.+)"/g).map(p => p.replace(/"/g, ''));
const needle = fs.readdirSync(`${HOME}/.atom/packages`)
  .filter(p => p !== '.wlck' && haystack.indexOf(p) === -1)
  .join('\n');

console.log(needle);

After running a package-sync:sync, I just do apm rm $(ATOM-ORPHANED) and all orphans are removed 👍

My packages.cson file is symlinked using Dotbot (if you're wondering about the weird location)

Is there anything holding this up from being merged? I would love to see this feature included.

@jbhannah

Any progress for this feature? I would love to have this feature in package-sync.

[jbhannah]

@czchen I haven't heard back from @lee-dohm if there are any other specs that he would like added before this can be merged in.

[Gerschtli]

@lee-dohm @jbhannah is there any chance, this PR gets merged?
