Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: Purging package on debian based distributions? Author: analogue Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,25985,25985#msg-25985
Hi, I'm using the package_method generic to manage my installed packages and cleaning up installed packages by default. Why is the package_delete_command for aptitude and apt-get "remove" instead of "purge" ? Purge is doing the same as remove, but also removes all its associated configuration and data files. Purge is used only in the dpkg_version package_method. Is it possible to change it to purge in the future in the stdlib? Or maybe add another package_policy called "purge" ? For the time being, how can I use the dpkg_version package_method to purge installed packages on my systems? Thanks =) _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
