See http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-May/046194.html for more discussion. I don't see this as an issue though because pkg_deinstall supports wildcards and patterns now. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Nopes, can mix them. pkg_deinstall uses pkg_delete infact. Just that it understands wildcards and supports recursing. pkg_deinstall is especially useful want to delete a package and all the stuff that was installed by it as dependencies ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Pkg_delete handles wildcards just fine. Or, is it just the partial port string, case sensitive, that it can handle? I do not have any ports to deinstall handy right now to test. If I use portinstall to install a port, which should I use to uninstall it ? If it's a single port that you want to delete on its own then either will suffice. If you want to do a recursive uninstall or delete multiple packages then you'll probably want to make use of pkg_deinstall. Pkg_delete can delete ports given as a list just like it can delete single port; it, however, does not recurse like pkg_deinstall. I have not used pkg_deinstall to recursively ports much; I like pkg_delete better, more so in case of inconsistent state of installed dependencies. - Parv -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
