[gentoo-user] {OT} BleachBit in portage

[Grant]

Has anyone tried BleachBit or anything like it?

http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net

"BleachBit quickly frees disk space and tirelessly guards your
privacy. Free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred
temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was
there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean 90
applications including Firefox, Internet Explorer, Adobe Flash, Google
Chrome, Opera, Safari,and more. Beyond simply deleting files,
BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to
prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files
deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it
faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source."

I tried it from the Sabayon overlay and it does a decent job of
identifying some cruft, but not any Gentoo-specific cruft.

I hadn't realised it was now in the main portage tree, but why have they
put it in sys-fs FFS?

No problems here using Bleachbit as thus far. Seems ok for cleaning out
non Gentoo stuff. Will let you know if I hit any issues.
