what about the pkg_uninstall hook - this has existed for a long while
- although I see in registry2.0 somebody has commented this section
# pkg_uninstall isn't used anywhere as far as I can tell and I intend to add
of course it isnt used anywhere - you need to define a pkg_uninstall procedure
in the Portfile
the other fixup needed is an encoding of the procedure as defined in the
Portfile
before it can be stored in the registry file so that it works after reading
from the registry
- I needed a fixup to the proc_disasm procedure to map \n to \\n in the
procedure body
to get this to work
append p [string map { \n \\n } [info body $pname] ]
with this I have had pkg_uninstall working for a few years - unfortunately the
name change
from darwinports to macports made life difficult for me (running on Panther at
the time
and only recently upgrading to Tiger because of features I needed that only
worked
in Panther) and hence had no desire to upgrade that system
- only now with a new machine did I install the new macports
