rmw (ReMove to Waste) is a safe-remove and restore utility for the
command line. By default it uses your desktop's trash (the
FreeDesktop.org Trash specification) and needs no setup, though you can
add your own waste folders. It can also purge items after a set number
of days.
Requires (from SlackBuilds.org): canfigger
canfigger homepage: https://github.com/andy5995/canfigger
No configuration is required. A configuration file is created on the
first run; add WASTE lines to it only for special cases, such as keeping
rmw's files out of the desktop trash, a folder on removable media, or a
folder that is listed and purged but never receives new files.
Optional runtime helpers (not build-time requirements):
* fish -- a completion file is installed to
/usr/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/rmw.fish, which fish reads
automatically. Available from SlackBuilds.org.
Build options:
TEST=yes Run `meson test` after building. Results are logged
under /usr/doc/rmw-<version>/test_results.txt inside the
package. Default: no.
