Here is bleachbit-0.9.3 that I built in Saluki, I edited the make file to read then ran and to build the package used splitpkg.sh via the terminal to split the package then dir2pet.
the dependency for the pet is set to +Python as used in Saluki, hope this is usable.

Thanks, Geoffrey

I didn't bother with trying any options with the make file, because there was no info on this in the readme file from the developer... but in retrospect, I could have given this a shot...

I will try this again with Wary Puppy, because I know that many people would prefer to install a Pet instead of extracting a package and using the command line... In the event that I am successful, I will have to edit my previous post and... eat a bit of Crow for being so presumptuous.

UPDATE

Here is BleachBit-0.9.3 compiled in Wary Puppy 5.3 Note that Python 2.7 is a dependency, and will have to be installed first.

It turns out for me that Bleachbit does not want to build properly in the local pathway, and so removing that one directory in the makefile seems to make all the difference... I have included support for international languages in this Pet rather than build it as a separate package... the final size seems reasonable.

Cheers,
Monsie

Thanks, this version also works in Lucid Puppy 528

(running bleachbit immediately before making a remastered puppy is very convenient!)

I was looking at my bash history and realized I had built a record with hundreds of entries. While I could have simply deleted the file at
and the file would have been re-generated once I started using the terminal again, I wondered about doing a regular cleaning with Bleachbit.

It turns out that Bleachbit is configured to delete the bash history, but the file is named incorrectly for Puppy, so it doesn't show up in the menu for cleaning purposes. This is easily fixed. --> /usr/share/bleachbit/cleaners and right click on bash.xml to Open As Text. Look for the following line: modify it to read: Save your changes, close out, then run Bleachbit and you should see the new entry for your command-line history. Now you can check the two boxes for Bash and this file will be included for cleaning. In fact your .history file will be deleted, but there are no worries because it will be created anew the next time you run a command at the terminal.

For anyone wanting to compile Bleachbit in future, this change should be easily made in the source code.

WOO cleaned 11.9MB...

Anyway thank you Monsie for the bash history edit. Thank you Geoffrey for the pet.

I may see if I can do a portable version sometime soon.

EDIT: Portable Bleachbit done

Hi vicmz,

First, my apologies in not getting back to you sooner...

Do you have Python 2.7 installed? The Python package includes PyGTK and I suspect this is the missing module. (Puppy will have GTK by default). See this thread in the bleachbit support forum:
http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/forum/ ... u-1204-lts

Hope this helps,
Monsie

Has anyone had any luck getting bleach to work on slacko 5.4 or later? Yes, python is installed, or so the PPM says. I'm sorry, I'm not a programmer so go easy on me please.

hi polekat,
try installing the devx.sfs for the slacko version you are using, as the devx contains python in slacko and older puppies.

you can get the slacko devx here in the puppy-5.3, puppy-5.4 & puppy-5.5 folders http://ftp.nluug.nl/ibiblio/distributions/puppylinux/

be sure to pick the one that matches your slacko version

Thank you 666philb for the quick reply. I'm sorry to say that did not work either. I believe I will replace slacko with another puppy distro. I have no trouble getting bleach to function in precise.

This made Bleachbit work in Slacko 5.5 PAE on my computer. Thank You!

P.S. It even also made PyPar2 work!

I don't have Wary 5.0 to test but bleachbit-1.0.pet does work in Wary 5.5 using Python-2.7.2-i486.pet from the Carolina repo.

Dell Inspiron 1300 - Puppy Precise 5.7.1 full installation on sda1 (only OS).

Installed latest Python then Bleachbit 0.9.6 - result;

Perfect operation.

Thanks. With the help of you guys got BB running on Slacko 5.6.0 full install
