That's contradictory to what you initially said.
Sorry if I implied I was talking about pkg(5), but I am not. I was
stating how I remembered other systems (such as rpm) to work.
2) pkg uninstall -r foo
This removes foo and bar (as long as bar isn't installed to satisfy a
dependency for some other package)
Not currently for pkg(5).
3) pkg uninstall bar or pkg uninstall -r bar
This removes bar and only bar and warns you that you're potentially
breaking foo
pkg(5) won't let you do the first, but will let you do the second
because it will also remove foo.
These scenarios show what I mean by 'top-down'. Foo is the top and
bar
is below since foo depends on bar. You said that pkg uninstall -r bar
would remove foo. That's backwards to me and what I mean when I say
'bottom-up'.
Right, as Danek said, everyone seems to think of a dependency tree in
a different direction. 'leafward' and 'rootward' are probably safer
terms ;)
