Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Peter Hyman <pete@peterhyman.com> X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name : tmpwatch Version : 2.12 * Upstream Contact: Peter Hyman <pete@peterhyman.com> URL : https://github.com/pete4abw/tmpwatch * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : tmpwatch is a utility searches for files not accessed in a specific time and deletes them The tmpwatch utility recursively searches through specified directories and removes files which have not been accessed in a specified period of time. tmpwatch is normally used to clean up directories which are used for temporarily holding files (for example, /tmp). - While Debian removes files in the /tmp directory, other files may havetemporary files that needs to be cleaned periodically. tmpwatch is ideally usedas a cron-job. - how do you plan to maintain it? tmpwatch has not had any activity for over 5 years. Originally written byErik Troan <ewt@redhat.com>, Preston Brown <pbrown@redhat.com>, Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com>, Miloslav Trmač <mitr@redhat.com>, I have forked off andadded some enhancements. However, packaging for Debian has been challenging since the autogen I wrote fetches a submodule which creates lots of files not in the source package. I would need a mentor to help me get this off the ground.Original project URL is at the Fedora project page: https://pagure.io/tmpwatch-- Peter Hyman

For example, a userland Trash Can which might be used for deleted files when Dolphin/Nautilus are not used,Closing. -- Peter Hyman
