computer-janitor crashed with ImportError in /usr/share/computerjanitor/computerjanitord/errors.py: No module named computerjanitor

Looks like this was caused by the update-manager refactoring. I'll try to look into this asap.

Computer Janitor is all kinds of messed up (even more than usual ;).

Update Manager got ported to Python 3, which is a good thing, except that it has an incestuous relationship with CJ, and CJ has not been ported. My first thought was that it should be a fairly simple fix to s/computerjanitor/janitor.plugincore/ except that now with UM being Python 3, janitor.plugincore only exists in Python 3, so CJ can't even find that unless it is also ported to Python 3.

Porting CJ to Python 3 is a good idea, but an unknown amount of work atm, and we'll definitely need an FFe for Quantal. The other option is to provide a b/c package to export janitor.plugincore to Python 2 in the UM package and then not port CJ to Python 3. I don't like that as much because if CJ has a continued life (and we've discussed killing it off before), then providing a Python 2 janitor.plugincore package seems like going backward.

I suppose I should take some time and see how hard it is to port CJ to Python 3 in time for Quantal.

Where we not meant to remove computer janitor app a few cycles back, since it's buggy and potentially dangerous? And mostly replaced by the work of e.g. automatically removing old kernels.

I'd rather drop computer janitor UI and leave the python3 module only for update manager.

I completely agree. We should kill CJ and remove it from the archive. Is that too late for Quantal?

From IRC:

* xnox ponders if you can make computer-janitor to remove itself as obsolete
