pkg_delete
Hi All !
what's a more 'radical' way of deleting a package ? /var/db/pkg/ ? Thank you . Last edited by daemonfowl; 23rd February 2012 at 11:25 AM. Reason: irrelevance |

No.

The end product of building any port is to create packages. pkg_delete(1) only deletes packages, not the object files created when building the port. If you did not run some variation of: # make clean ...following building, all object files & any other intermediate file will still exist in /usr/ports/pobj. Subsequent attempts to build with make will find that the timestamps of any object file and/or any other intermediate file is still newer than the source, so there is no need to recompile. Linking, though, may still occur at the end. |

Thanks Ocicat! that's well explained !!
* I lways do a 'make install clean' .. is it the same as when doing 'make install' then 'make clean' , afterwards ? * I still have stuff in pobj .. is it safe to remove it ? Thanks so much Last edited by daemonfowl; 23rd February 2012 at 06:53 AM. |

Opera doesn't start .. is it because I'm compiling webkit/xxxterm ??? I deinstalled it many times though ..

Yes. /usr/ports/pobj contains the extracted source code and any generated files from a port build. These files can also be deleted via “make clean”.

Most applications in the ports tree create and/or depend on a network of other packages. make clean will only clean the working directory of the primary package being built. Section 15.3.6 of the FAQ discusses a number of other make targets which clean other parts of the /usr/ports/pobj subdirectory. Reading the ports(7) manpage is also advised.

Thank you all !!!
woud it be safe to just do #rm -R /usr/ports/pobj/* ? I've got 1.9g of pobj/* so far .. |
