ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, is inviting proposals for new sponsored top level domains.

gpt-uninstall

GPT-UNINSTALL(8)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					  GPT-UNINSTALL(8)

NAME

       gpt-uninstall - Uninstall any GPT package.

SYNOPSIS

       gpt-uninstall [--force --help -name ] pkgname-flavor-pkgtype

DESCRIPTION

       gpt-uninstall will uninstall a package from the system.

OPTIONS

       -force  This will force actions to take place.

       -native Use native package manager (Only works with rpm).

       pkgname-flavor-pkgtype
	       Expression describing the packages that should be removed.

       -help   Print a brief help message and exits.

       -man    Prints the manual page and exits.

       -version
	       Prints the version of GPT and exits.

EXAMPLES

	 gpt-uninstall -name=foo

       removes all flavors and package types with the name "foo".

	gpt-uninstall foo

       Also removes all flavors and package types with the name "foo".

	 gpt-uninstall 'foo-*-*'

       A third way of typing the same uninstall.  Note the single quotes.

	 gpt-uninstall '*-noflavor-*'

       Remove all of the packages with a 'noflavor' build flavor.

	 gpt-uninstall '*-*-*'

       Remove all packages.  Note that files generated by gpt-postinstall will not be removed

BUGS

       Currently the flavor check that gpt-uninstall uses only works if the flavor is installed by gpt-build.  And so for example:

	gpt-uninstall foo-gcc32-*

       will not work.  The work around is to uninstall the packages individually using something like:

	gpt-uninstall -name=foo -flavor=gcc32 -pkgtype=pgm

       Or use a wild card for the flavor to uninstall all flavors of the package.

	gpt-uninstall foo-*-*
