Feature changed by: Tomáš Chvátal (scarabeus_iv) Feature #311288, revision 6 Title: Add YAST feature to remove application settings - openSUSE Distribution: New + openSUSE Distribution: Rejected by Tomáš Chvátal (scarabeus_iv) + reject reason: This is unfortunately too prone for errors. One would + have to create full mapping of whatever packages create on run and then + decide if it is safe to remove. Also packages can create more . files + together thus it gets way more complex. There really are no resources + to do this.
