Removing Ports
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? -- Rishi Chopra http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rchopra ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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 -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ http://jez.hancock-family.com/ - Another FreeBSD Diary http://ipfwstats.sf.net/- ipfw peruser traffic logging ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

'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. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area: resume/CV at http://be-well.ilk.org:8088/~lowell/resume/ username/password public ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, 'make deinstall' removes the installed files too. That's one of the major reasons why the ports collection is useful. Kris pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
