Yo, |
| 2 |
If you mean uninstalling an installed application, then portage is |
| 3 |
capable of that. After you emerge something as such: |
| 4 |
emerge thissocoolapplication -v |
| 5 |
all you have to do to undo the changes that the above command made is |
| 6 |
this: |
| 7 |
emerge unmerge thissocoolapplication -v |
| 8 |
. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Notice a few things. emerge unmerge does not remove files from |
| 11 |
cfgprotected directed such as /etc or /lib/modules/*/ and there are some |
| 12 |
others.. so those files will have to be removed manually.. they will |
| 13 |
show up as a "--- cfgpro NAMEOFFILE" listing in the output of the |
| 14 |
uninstall command.. those are the ones u have to manually remove.. on |
| 15 |
the other hand.. u could just change the environment variable |
| 16 |
'CONFIG_PROTECT', to empty.. and then "emerge unmerge": |
| 17 |
export CONFIG_PROTECT="" |
| 18 |
emerge unmerge ... |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
if u go to /var/db/pkg, you can see all the info for all the packages |
| 21 |
installed, like what files were installed and other cool stuff |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
alternatively.. u can install gentoolkit which installs the qpkg |
| 24 |
command, which can be used to query information about installed and not |
| 25 |
yet installed packages via.. "qpkg -l PACKAGENAME" |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
now if u mean recording the entire state of the filesystem that has been |
| 31 |
installed by portage at some point (like an emerge snapshot) and |
| 32 |
reverting back to that snapshot from some other point of time.. well.. |
| 33 |
that hasn't been done.. |
