Re: managing packages

 

It seems the description of the computer-janitor, but in Ubuntu 12.04 it's
not installed in the system. I know i can install it running sudo apt-get
install computer-janitor, but a newbie doesn't know that. Moreover a newbie
doesn't think he has to clean his pc, so the application should clean the
system automatically without asking the user anything. This behavoir should
have the possibility to be disabled from a skilled user if he wants.

So, the core of the application already exists, now we have to make it work
in the right way, and provide this service out of the box.
