For deinstalling, `make deinstall' is the standard way, and usually works well. If you use ports a lot though, i recommend installing the sysutils/portupgrade port. It's very useful collection of utilities for manipulating packages and the ports collection. Most notably, if you cvsup your ports collection regularly, it lets you upgrade a port with one command, instead of the usual pkg_delete/make install combo, which sometimes messes up dependency information IME. Another reason to get it is `portversion -L=3D', which lists all installed packages whose version numbers don't correspond to their ports collection equivalents. Quick way to get a list of names to feed portupgrade(1), and keep you on the bleeding edge. :-) > What happens if I deinstall something that something else depends on, > is this deinstalled too then? I'm not sure how `make deinstall' handles this, but portupgrade includes a tool called pkg_deinstall, which offers you the option of deinstalling a package including everything that depends on it. --=20 Piet Delport <siberiyan@mweb.co.za> Today's subliminal thought is: --kfjH4zxOES6UT95V Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE7s7A+zRUP82sZFCcRAkEAAJ9516ysxgvvgbM97K/FaGEfdHkPYwCgpjBY 2+8NB6jCLI2C2WXubAh49zw= =ANIo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --kfjH4zxOES6UT95V-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
