Package: piuparts Version: 0.45 Severity: normal Hi,
for the --install-purge-install option I introduced, we need a new set of ignored_files and ignored_patterns. Until now only a full purge was performed (all packages that were not in the base system are removed). But with the --install-purge-install option, only the tested package itself will be purged, the dependencies will be kept in place. This leads to various modified and added files (logfiles, indices, databases, compiled modules in various languages, config files, ... that will be taken care of by purging the dependency, but when only purging the tested packages, they produce noise. Adding them to the existing ignored_files/ignored_patterns is not a good idea, as we don't want have them ignored for the "full purge". There is no need for adding extra command line options to amend these new hardcoded lists, for dynamic addition it does not really matter whether the "full purge" or "partial purge" ignores are used. The -i- (or however it was called) option to clear the ignore lists needs to clear the partial purge list, too. Eventually there should be a --list-ignored option that lists the actually ignored files for easier debugging: IGNORED: /var/log/foo.log Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
