Hi list,
I noticed that sometime a slackbuild requires to create user and group.
In my case, postgresql.SlackBuild requires user and group creation
before builing the software. Why don't put the user creation inside
doinst.sh? The user/group creation seems not needed for building
purpose. I'm missing something?
From man removepkg(8) I read this:
"removepkg supports /bin/sh compatible uninstall scripts. If the
package shipped with an uninstall script, it will be run after the
package is removed. If present, the uninstall script resides in the
/var/lib/pkgtools/douninst.sh/ directory and has the same full name as
the package (without the extension). For example, a package
named foo-1.0-noarch-1.txz might contain an uninstall script named:
/var/lib/pkg‐tools/douninst.sh/foo-1.0-noarch-1"
This seems an interesting feature but I see it is not generally used or
at least I have not found a package that provides douninst.sh.
Why is it not used?
For example, removing postgresql it could be useful to remove user/group
for postgres or other files.
Thank you in advance.
Alessandro.
