Default pkg_delete

Hi All !

what's a more 'radical' way of deleting a package ? /var/db/pkg/ ?

Thank you .

This is not a complete sentence. I have no idea what you are talking about.

Here, reading the description of the pkg_delete(1) manpage & Section 15.3.1 of the FAQ will answer your question.

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.

As I mentioned in two other threads, Opera is not compiled. The "make" you are performing merely extracts the binary and configuration files from a tarball archive.

We do not have enough information to answer the question.

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.
