Whats about -r' flag for uninstall?
That only works for the dependencies. So, for example:
foo depends on bar
..then:
pkg uninstall -r bar
Would remove foo and bar.
But, pkg uninstall -r foo, would only remove foo.
Really? That seems totally backwards to me based on all the other
package managers I've used that could uninstall dependencies.
If I install foo and bar isn't installed then both foo and bar get
installed. If I uninstall foo (using -r) and bar isn't a dependency
for
anything else I'd expect bar to get uninstalled as well. If both foo
and bar are installed and I uninstall bar I'd expect a warning saying
that bar is a dependency of foo.
Why does it work the way you describe? I'm not really seeing the
logic.
I didn't implement it, so I can't tell you, but that's the way it is
documented to work, and the way it works:
In the case of uninstall, the -r option will recursively
uninstall any packages which are dependent on the initial
package.
