Please delete a project I created on Launchpad

Hi Umang,

Why you need to delete the project?
you can continue with the same project and add some new ideas also it, right?
Who knows, sometimes that can help users in some other way also?

This is just a suggestion. Please ignore if it doesn't cope with your need.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Rino,

Thank you for your suggestion. However, I believe that this project is not useful to anyone.

When I began coding this project, I didn't know about deborphan. At the moment, the b4clean code does less that what deborphan does and is far slower (deborphan generates that list in five to ten seconds, b4clean takes about two to three minutes) and b4clean seems to be pretty inefficient. The code is pretty useless, because most of it is just using subprocess to call apt-rdepends and use regex to read the output (deborphan is far more efficient).

As far as ideas go, I wasn't intending to make this very big. deborphan seems to be much more efficient. Also, if this tool were to be useful (I realized today), it would need to use the python apt module/package. That would require a full rewrite. However, since there is already a project that does the same thing, I don't see any use for this projects, for anyone - coders (because if they wanted to do something similar, they would use the apt module) and users (they can just use deborphan, which is far better coded, distributed in Debian and Ubuntu and is more powerful and flexible).

Although I understand that requests for deletion are often made for projects that can be made use of, I don't think this project could be of any use to anybody.

Regards,

Umang

Thanks Francis J. Lacoste, that solved my question.
