[Bug 31814] New: Gecko should clean up when upgrading
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31814 Bug #: 31814 Summary: Gecko should clean up when upgrading Product: Wine-gecko Version: unspecified Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, source Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: wine-gecko-unknown AssignedTo: jacek(a)codeweavers.com ReportedBy: kennybobs(a)o2.co.uk Classification: Unclassified As you move from one version of Gecko to another (by upgrading Wine), the number of times Gecko is installed increases. Gecko should remove the old versions if they are no longer needed. $ rm -rf ~/.wine ; wine-git wineboot ; du -s ~/.wine 234680 /home/test/.wine $ rm -rf ~/.wine ; wine-1.1.25 wineboot ; sleep 4s ; wine-1.2.3 wineboot ; sleep 4s ; wine-1.3.20 wineboot ; sleep 4s ; wine-1.5.6 wineboot ; sleep 4s ; wine-1.5.12 wineboot ; sleep 4s ; du -s ~/.wine 369400 /home/test/.wine At the moment the amount of additional disk space isn't enormous, but if multiple users are updating Wine on the same machine the amount of disc space used can increase dramatically. The uninstall from the Control Panel just removes the listing, it doesn't actually delete any files. In real world use I don't think people will be updating in the fashion shown above, but it may be something worth thinking about. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

When it's used, Gecko does not use any disk space inside prefix. When MSI installs are used, it's still not removed on upgrade, but it's not clear if we want to change that. I'd say that if prefix size is a concern, shared installation is the right solution. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
