Computer Janitor (nee System Cleaner, also known as Cruft Remover *sigh*) has been removing autoremovable packages since intrepid. Also unsupported packages. It also removes old kernels, but indirectly, as part of removing unsupported packages. It does not touch user files; that may be added some day, but not for jaunty. Rotated log files should be removed by logrotate -- I'm not sure it's worth deleting them especially, since the sysadmin supposedly wants a specific rotation schedule. (If anything, logrotate should perhaps be configured to keep only small amounts of logs by default, limited by disk space usage.) -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
