[Bug 31814] New: Gecko should clean up when upgrading

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: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    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.

--- Comment #1 from Jacek Caban  ---
We have support for shared Wine Gecko installation. 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.

As mentioned, I think we may consider it fixed. When using shared Gecko
installation, there is nothing to clean up.
