migrate project

[sgratzl]

Hi,

I like this project, however it seems to be dead. Therefore, I forked it (actually cloned) and cleaned it up.

--> https://github.com/sgratzl/slack-cleaner

changes

• integrated all open PR of this repository
• unify and format code
• auto build of Docker image -> https://hub.docker.com/r/sgratzl/slack-cleaner/
• actually show the error message why the deletion couldn't be done
• consider rate also in case of errors while deletion
• regex support for channel, group, direct, mpdirect

if you have further suggestions, please post issues, prs, ...

@sgratzl Have you considered contacting the owner regarding this or trying to ask for a transfer of the name on PyPI?

[sgratzl]

considered sure, tho last time I checked when creating this ticket I couldn't find a way to contact the author.

There's an email available: https://github.com/kfei/slack-cleaner/blob/master/slack_cleaner/__init__.py#L2

I did wrote an email, no answer so far.

[pradyunsg]

trying to ask for a transfer of the name on PyPI?

I'll suggest doing this then -- file an issue on https://github.com/pypa/warehouse for it.
