Description Giorgio Luparia 2004-03-26 03:55:03 UTC

I wasn't able to find any nice way to automatically remove any configuration files shipped with a package. I think it would be fine to have an `emerge' option (--purge?) that completely deletes things related to a package and doesn't leave garbage in /etc and stuff for packages I'll not use anymore...

Reproducible: Always
