#20556: Port should ask before performing time consuming or complex operations --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: nick@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Comment(by singingwolfboy@…): First, your request: yes, in fact, there is a very easy way to remove port and undoing everything it did. By default, Macports installs to the /opt/local directory, and keeps *everything* it does in that directory, including installed software. You should be able to just do a `$ rm -rf /opt/` and everything should be back to the way it was before you installed Macports. Second, the underlying principle. I definitely agree with you that port should ask permission by default before installing anything, the way yum does. Unfortunately, I am fairly new to the Macports community, and I have no idea how to go about doing that. :( -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20556#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
