It seems weird that deletion is prohibited. As we grow as people, sometimes we no longer want to associate something with ourselves. A photo we don't want to remember, for instance. This feels like an unnecessary restriction.
- have_faith 8y ago> no delete support Yeah that's a show stopper. There's just way too many scenarios where's you need to delete something.
- amelius 8y agoFor instance if forced by law.
- 1ris 8y agoDelete is not (or only very poorly) supported in git as well. For almost all use cases this is correct way.
- skybrian 8y agoPerkeep is for single users so the use case to compare with is a private git repo. If you're not publishing anything, reverting the last change is easy and a rebase isn't that hard.
- 0xCMP 8y agoYou "can't delete" but there are in-fact ways to clean up deleted items and get rid of them completely.
- otakucode 8y agoIf there are no references to the GUID of the item, you could easily simply consider it deleted. There would be no practical way to find it, after all. There is no "list all" or anything like that (as I understand it). You can't say 'Show me how much of the 128 bit space I've filled' and then iterate through each piece..
- star-techate 8y agokey words: 1. child porn 2. steganography if I were the dev I'd add a 'list all' just to avoid anyone thinking the above were a good plan.
- nrolans 8y agoI don't think it's prohibited, see linked issues below. I have been keeping an eye on the project and that feature for several years. I am using zfs snapshots locally and borg backup for now. It is not comparable but does the job for now. https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep/issues/792 https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep/issues/792 https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep/issues/1076 https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep/issues/1076
