GUB question about removing packages

[Patrick McCarty-3]

Hello,

What is the best way to remove a package in GUB, like
darwin-ppc::lilypond-installer?

Are you supposed to use bin/gpkg ?

I have just been removing the package files manually, but there is
probably a better (but undocumented) way to do this.

Thanks,
Patrick

Try

bin/gpkg --help :-)

Okay, thanks Jan.  :-)  This doesn't achieve what I was hoping for though.

Is there a method to remove a package from GUB so that a rebuild is
triggered only for that package and packages that depend on it?

Let's say I build tools::t1utils, and later want to rebuild
tools::make and all packages that depend on it (make, tar, patch,
t1utils).

From scratch, I was hoping this would work:

$ bin/gub tools::t1utils
$ bin/gpkg -p tools remove make
$ bin/gub tools::t1utils

but that only reinstalls tools::make.

Thanks,
Patrick

No.  A packages' up-to-dateness only depends on its own build checksum;
ie, only if anything actually relevant for building in its .py build
script changes.

To force the rebuild of a package (tools::t1utils) without altering its
build spec, you must remove it *and* remove the binary packages
(target/tools/packages/t1utils*).

Jan.
