Clearing objects from .changes

Is it possible to remove all references to a class after it has been removed everywhere?

For example I can delete all classes of package 'Roassal2-Builder-Grapher'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

pkg := RPackageOrganizer default packageNamed: 'Roassal2'.

grapherTag := pkg classTags detect: [ :each | each name = #'Builder-Grapher' ].

grapherTag classes do: [ :each | removeClass value: each ].

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

However this leaves the .changes file intact, even after I do "Smalltalk cleanUp: true".

The reason why I am doing this is to lower the size of .changes/.images files which are massive just after loading my project... so it takes a lot of space for testing...

Thanks,

Peter

Re: Clearing objects from .changes

What you (probably) want is called 'condensing the changes'.
Have a look at the class PharoChangesCondenser.

Excellent!

Now I have successfully lowered the build size from 38MB to just 13MB. :)

Thanks,

Peter
