Description Christophe LEFEBVRE 2009-08-07 19:22:54 UTC

When we are doing some cleanings on our computer, we appreciate to do some uninstallations quickly. Then, I suggest to add a command "unmerge" as "emerge --unmerge". Maybe an user-friendly command to add ?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. unmerge [PACKAGE_NAME]
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
unmerge: command not found

Expected Results:  
Uninstall the [PACKAGE_NAME] package

Anything wrong with 

  emerge -C ...

we should know of?

We already provide a long option, a short option, *AND* a tab completion setup. Use "app-shells/gentoo-bashcomp" and enjoy emerge -un<tab>
