- Update the README to include a reference to the Windows instructions. - Add some additional notes into Windows Instructions and remove one incorrect command. - Update .gitignore to ignore all permutations of env* to allow for multiple side by side virtual environments (used to build different versions for windows) Ref: #393

# dupeGuru
|
|
|
|
[dupeGuru][dupeguru] is a cross-platform (Linux, OS X, Windows) GUI tool to find duplicate files in
|
|
a system. It's written mostly in Python 3 and has the peculiarity of using
|
|
[multiple GUI toolkits][cross-toolkit], all using the same core Python code. On OS X, the UI layer
|
|
is written in Objective-C and uses Cocoa. On Linux, it's written in Python and uses Qt5.
|
|
|
|
The Cocoa UI of dupeGuru is hosted in a separate repo: https://github.com/hsoft/dupeguru-cocoa
|
|
|
|
## Current status: People wanted
|
|
|
|
dupeGuru has currently only one maintainer, me. This is a dangerous situation that needs to be
|
|
corrected.
|
|
|
|
The goal is to eventually have another active maintainer, but before we can get there, the project
|
|
needs more contributors. It is very much lacking on that side right now.
|
|
|
|
Whatever your skills, if you are remotely interestested in being a contributor, I'm interested in
|
|
mentoring you. If that's the case, please refer to [the open ticket on the subject][contrib-issue]
|
|
and let's get started.
|
|
|
|
### Slowed development
|
|
|
|
Until I manage to find contributors, I'm slowing the development pace of dupeGuru. I'm not much
|
|
interested in maintaining it alone, I personally have no use for this app (it's been a *loooong*,
|
|
time since I had dupe problems :) )
|
|
|
|
I don't want to let it die, however, so I will still do normal maintainership, that is, issue
|
|
triaging, code review, critical bugfixes, releases management.
|
|
|
|
But anything non-critical, I'm not going to implement it myself because I see every issue as a
|
|
contribution opportunity.
|
|
|
|
### Windows maintainer wanted
|
|
|
|
As [described on my website][nowindows], dupeGuru v4.0 dropped Windows support
|
|
because there isn't anyone to bear the burden of Windows maintenance. If
|
|
you're a Windows developer and are interested in taking this task, [don't
|
|
hesitate to let me know][contrib-issue].
|
|
|
|
### OS X maintainer wanted
|
|
|
|
My Mac Mini is already a couple of years old and is likely to be my last Apple purchase. When it
|
|
dies, I will be unable maintain the OS X version of moneyGuru. I've already stopped paying for the
|
|
Mac Developer membership so I can't sign the apps anymore (in the "official way" I mean. The
|
|
download is still PGP signed) If you're a Mac developer and are interested in taking this task,
|
|
[don't hesitate to let me know][contrib-issue].

## Contents of this folder
|
|
|
|
This folder contains the source for dupeGuru. Its documentation is in `help`, but is also
|
|
[available online][documentation] in its built form. Here's how this source tree is organised:
|
|
|
|
* core: Contains the core logic code for dupeGuru. It's Python code.
|
|
* qt: UI code for the Qt toolkit. It's written in Python and uses PyQt.
|
|
* images: Images used by the different UI codebases.
|
|
* pkg: Skeleton files required to create different packages
|
|
* help: Help document, written for Sphinx.
|
|
* locale: .po files for localisation.
|
|
|
|
There are also other sub-folder that comes from external repositories and are part of this repo as
|
|
git submodules:
|
|
|
|
* hscommon: A collection of helpers used across HS applications.
|
|
* qtlib: A collection of helpers used across Qt UI codebases of HS applications.
|
|
|
|
## How to build dupeGuru from source
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
For windows instructions see the [Windows Instructions](Windows.md).
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* [Python 3.4+][python]
|
|
* PyQt5
|
|
|
|
### make
|
|
|
|
dupeGuru is built with "make":
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ make run
|
|
|
|
### Generate Ubuntu packages
|
|
|
|
$ bash -c "pyvenv --system-site-packages env && source env/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt && python3 build.py --clean && python3 package.py"
|
|
|
|
### Running tests
|
|
|
|
The complete test suite is run with [Tox 1.7+][tox]. If you have it installed system-wide, you
|
|
don't even need to set up a virtualenv. Just `cd` into the root project folder and run `tox`.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have Tox system-wide, install it in your virtualenv with `pip install tox` and then
|
|
run `tox`.
|
|
|
|
You can also run automated tests without Tox. Extra requirements for running tests are in
|
|
`requirements-extra.txt`. So, you can do `pip install -r requirements-extra.txt` inside your
|
|
virtualenv and then `py.test core hscommon`
