Description David Watzke 2005-12-28 19:15:04 UTC

Hi! I just wanna say you that quickpkg is very useful, but miss any delete option. For example quickpkg -d [or --delete] $PN could delete file in ./All/ and remove symlink in ./$CATEGORY/$PN, because even eclean-pkg don't do that and still wants to remove nonexistent packages... Should anyone of you, programmers, do it? :) Thanks!

why not fix eclean-pkg instead ... i dont really see it being useful for quickpkg to have a delete option

Ok eclean-pkg removes pkgs nicely and all but the last link to the last package removed. Not a biggee but I thought you like to know.

Comment 4 Hiel Van Campen 2006-02-04 20:10:07 UTC

That is eclean (version 0.4.1)

I'm assuming you mean symlink. This bug is so old that symlinks aren't used in PKGDIR anymore. closing
