Remove all empty message/class categories after code update

Hi, there!

What do you think about removing all empty system categories (resp. class categories) and message categories after loading code?

Only for Squeak update?
Also for any Monticello merge/load?

Would anybody miss those empty categories?

Best,
Marcel

I think such removal is part of the release process.

There are some empty categories as Preferences "see class side" etc. :-(

I'm not sure how many categories are like that.

Best,

Karl

Maybe make it part of a #shrink / #cleanUp process...

Hi, there.

Such a shrinking would then happen in the ReleaseBuilder? Do we do that for a release or should we?

Best,
Marcel

Re: Remove all empty message/class categories after code update

Yes. IIRC, there is a boolean argument allowing two levels of
shrinkage, for release, we pass false to allow the more-conservative
form of shrinkage. We could put this clean up on that or as part of
the more-aggressive shrink...

SystemOrganizer class >> #cleanUp: and ClassOrganizer class >> #cleanUp:
will do that when the argument is true, which is done in RealseBuilder
class >> #prepareNewBuild:.
