Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kleansweep
Here is a patch to the kleansweep-helper perl script. It adds a new
option, -e, that cleans temporary files.
Currently, -e only matches Gnome file-roller temporary files that get
left over when you try to create a tarball on a disk that's almost full
then tar(1) fails due to lack of disk space (Ubuntu bug #90328,
forwarded upstream to Gnome bug ID 415638).
Notes:
* I did not attempt to patch the GUI to add a checkbox for this feature.
Would you like me to?
* This patch is for the version of kleansweep-helper that ships with
Ubuntu (0.28), not the latest (0.29).
* The "clean backup files" option already finds files named *.tmp, so I
wasn't sure if I should just modify the backup files regexp. But I
instead decided to add a new option since File Roller leftover temp
files are definitely not backup files, but they are true temp files :)
* If you run Kleansweep while File Roller is currently running, I'd
guess this would cause File Roller to fail and give you an error
message.
** Affects: kleansweep (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
