Removing Ports

2004-02-02 Thread Rishi Chopra 
My understanding is that 'make deinstall' only removes the port from the 
 ports database - is there any way to actually remove all of the 
files associated with a particular port?

You can do pkg_delete name

See the ports(7) manpage.

'make deinstall' effectively 'uninstalls' the application and all
associated files and dirs, but only if those files/dirs haven't changed
since the application was first installed.

To make sure you clean out the port's working directory (where the port
is built etc), as well as uninstalling the application - add the 'clean'
target to the make command:

make clean deinstall

'make deinstall' does a few other things as well; among them, a
pkg_delete(1).  This will remove the files installed by the port
(barring a bug in the port...).  Note that the 'make deinstall' 
will only delete the port if the port skeleton is still for the 
same version installed.

No, 'make deinstall' removes the installed files too.  That's one of
the major reasons why the ports collection is useful.
