NAME
bpkg-pkg-drop - drop package
SYNOPSIS
bpkg pkg-drop|drop [options] <pkg>...
bpkg pkg-drop|drop [options] --all|-a
bpkg pkg-drop|drop [options] (--all-pattern
<pattern>)...
DESCRIPTION
The pkg-drop command drops from the configuration the specified packages (the first form), all the held packages (the second form, see bpkg-pkg-status(1)), or all the held packages that match any of the specified wildcard patterns (the third form). If the packages being dropped still have dependent packages, then those will have to be dropped as well and you will be prompted to confirm. And if the packages being dropped have dependency packages that would otherwise no longer be used, then they will be dropped as well unless the --keep-unused|-K option is specified.
The pkg-drop command also supports several options (described below) that allow you to control the amount of work that will be done.
PKG-DROP OPTIONS
- --all|-a
- Drop all held packages.
- --all-pattern pattern
- Drop held packages that match the specified wildcard pattern. Repeat this option to match multiple patterns. Note that you may need to quote the pattern to prevent expansion by your shell.
- --yes|-y
- Assume the answer to all prompts is yes. Note that this option does not apply to the dropping of dependents; use --drop-dependent for that.
- --no|-n
- Assume the answer to all prompts is no. Only makes sense together with --print-only|-p.
- --keep-unused|-K
- Don't drop dependency packages that were automatically built but will no longer be used.
- --drop-dependent|-D
- Don't warn about or ask for confirmation if dropping dependent packages.
- --keep-dependent
- Issue an error if attempting to drop dependent packages.
- --dependent-exit code
- Silently exit with the specified error code if attempting to drop dependent packages.
- --disfigure-only
- Disfigure all the packages but don't purge.
- --print-only|-p
- Print to stdout what would be done without actually doing anything.
- --plan header
- Print the plan (even if --yes is specified) and start it with the header line (unless it is empty).
- --directory|-d dir
- Assume configuration is in dir rather than in the current working directory.
