Hi All,
Here is a patch that I have been using for at least a year.
The versions of dirvish-expire and perl supplied in Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 do
not work well together. Something changed in the perl implementation which
changed the behavior of dirvish-expire so that it would not actually remove
any images. dirvish-expire would go through the motions and claim that it
was deleting the images, but they were still around.
The following patch permits dirvish-expire to actually delete images again.
The version of dirvish-expire shipped with Ubuntu 10.04 has this identifier
near the beginning of the file:
# $Id: dirvish-expire.pl,v 12.0 2004/02/25 02:42:14 jw Exp $ $Name:
Dirvish-1_2 $
The context diff follows:
---
diff -c dirvish-expire.original dirvish-expire
*** dirvish-expire.original 2008-05-05 10:04:03.000000000 +0200
--- dirvish-expire 2011-01-02 12:10:13.158590820 +0100
***************
*** 171,180 ****
$$Options{'no-run'} and next;
! system("rm -rf $$expire{path}/tree");
$$Options{tree} and next;
! system("rm -rf $$expire{path}");
}
exit 0;
--- 171,182 ----
$$Options{'no-run'} and next;
! @args = ("rm", "-rf", "$$expire{path}/tree");
! system(@args);
$$Options{tree} and next;
! @args = ("rm", "-rf", "$$expire{path}");
! system(@args);
}
exit 0;
---
I felt it was about time I contributed something back to the community
again. Please feel free to use this patch or criticize it as you see fit. It
works for me.
John
