Hello list.
I am trying to clean up a system with a LOT of cruft. Is there some
argument I could pass to pkg_deinstall that would result in "delete
all packages installed, except for X, Y and Z" (and obviously their
dependancies)?
just do
pkg_info |cut -f 1 -d " " >/tmp/pkglist
edit pkglist and delete lines X, Y and Z
do
pkg_delete `cat /tmp/pkglist`
rm /tmp/pkglist
ignore errors about package can't be deleted because X, Y or Z requires
it. it's exactly what you want.
pkg_delete `cat /tmp/pkglist` gives error 'no such package `cat
/tmp/pkglist` installed
