Hi ! I'm the maintainer of Ryzom package.
Thanks for reporting that, but that was intended ! Before downloading data in ~/.ryzom, we were putting them in /usr/share/games/ryzom and it was worst ! Because even if we were able to remove them while uninstalling the package, a lot of people have a limited space in their / partition and 6 GB is too much. Dowloading into ~/.ryzom was a suggestion by Canonical employees themselves. Now imagine we delete ~/.ryzom after package uninstall, all personal infos are deleted too (interface saves, landmarks, screenshots, chat logs, etc...). If we try to delete only ~./ryzom/data (the 6 GB data), how the uninstaller will know where are located these data because each user can have a copy ? What if a user uninstalled it to reinstall it later ? He'll have to redownload all 6 GB. All applications put their data in ~ and some of them are using more disk space as other, do you know any application who delete files in ~ while being uninstalled ? When launching Baobab, the user will notice there is a folder taking more than 6 GB and will be able to remove it manually if that's his choice. Instead of forcing something (Apple or Microsoft policies), I prefer to let the choice. Eventually, perhaps I could add a dialog message at the end of patching process that if he want to free 6 GB, the user have to manually delete the ~/.ryzom/data directory. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997514 Title: Uninstalling Ryzom still leaves Ryzom data To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/997514/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
