README

        
WARNING: This project is at an early stage of development

and the database of packages/programs is nearly empty.

Thus, it will not work very well yet, but you can help

improve it.

This program scans your $HOME dir and checks each element

whose name begins with . (dot) against a database of know

configuration files. From that, it determines the program

(or the package name, if you use search-by-package) that

may need that file/dir, and checks whether that program is

installed in your system.

There are two ways of finding programs:

1) By program name: searches for the config filepath in a

DB of program names. If a program is found, it checks whether

that program exists with `which`.

2) By package name: searches for the config filepath in a

DB of package names. If a package is found, it checks whether

that package is installed with apt-get. This makes clean-home

dependent on Debian/Deb-based OSs. I'll work to get that

fixed. You can request that clean-home uses a different tool

by providing the name and args to be passed to that tool.

By default, an empty result is considered a fail and a non-empty

result is conceived as a match, but you can request to use

the exit code to determine whether packages are installed or

not.

Run clean-home --help to see the complete set of options that

clean-home accepts.

***

How to improve the results:

clean-home keeps two files in its data directory with the

config file - program/package correspondences. They can be

located in the program's share dir, under the names PkgList

and PrgList.

If you install this in your home, they will be in:

~/.cabal/share/clean-home-0.0.3/data/

(assuming that you have version 0.0.3 installed)

The only thing you have to do now is add more entries to

that file.

The format of this file is very simple: it's a haskell value of type

[ (String, [ String ]) ]

Add/remove/modify entries as you want to tweak it to your needs.

Once you got a decent configuration, make sure that you send

me the file, by email or pull request, so that I add your

entries to the next version of clean-home.

Thanks for taking part in this experiment and... go clean your $HOME!!!
