Profile-cleaner

Hello

Has anyone installed Profile-cleaner?

I failed, although I followed the instructions provided on GitHub.

Re: Profile-cleaner

I followed the instructions provided on GitHub.

Which instructions? There are many...

graysky has provided a PPA but it was tested with squeeze which was quite a while ago now, I would recommend building it from source instead.

The author is a regular on the Arch forums and I'm sure he will respond very quickly to any support requests.

--- Mod warning..."Don't break Debian!"---

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/graysky/utils/ubuntu quantal main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/graysky.list
echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/graysky/utils/ubuntu quantal main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/graysky.list
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys FF7F9516
apt-get update
apt-get install profile-cleaner

I would compile the source file but I did not find it.
Do you know an alternative to profile-cleaner?

Thanks

@HectorBRX

Debian recommends that you DO NOT ADD PPA's to your system! This warning is given on the BL website, and also in the bl-welcome script that requires you to write "I understand" to show you have understood the dangers,

Re: Profile-cleaner

True... This is good advise.

Is there an alternative to this script in Debian repositories?

BleachBit is a great cleaner and is in Debian.

Re: Profile-cleaner

The github sources builds and runs on my BL system OK, after getting the required dependencies

sudo apt-get install build-essential parallel bc sqlite3

cd to the unzipped archive and

make
sudo make install

$ which profile-cleaner
/usr/bin/profile-cleaner
