These notes from removing the most-recent-but-one server RPM from a system:
- Stopped the server:
[root@centos53 ~]# service ctier stop
Stopping Jetty: OK
- Erased the RPM:
[root@centos53 opt]# rpm -e ctier-server

- Removed the user and the group:

[root@centos53 opt]# groupdel ctier
- Consciously ignored backing out the ulimit related changes.
Phew ... a few extra features needed!

These are "config" files. modified config files will be backed up by rpm before being removed.
- Still some stuff left under /opt/ctier!:
[root@centos53 opt]# du -sh /opt/ctier
462M /opt/ctier
[root@centos53 opt]# find /opt/ctier | wc -l
18537
[root@centos53 opt]# rm -rf /opt/ctier
Other content created in the dir after rpm installation (e.g. workbench/rdfdata/*) is not removed by rpm because it wasn't part of the rpm contents
- Removed the init.d related stuff:
[root@centos53 opt]# rm -f /etc/default/ctier
[root@centos53 opt]# rm -f /etc/init.d/ctier
spec will already do this
- Removed the user and the group:
[root@centos53 opt]# userdel ctier
[root@centos53 opt]# groupdel ctier
Is this something that the rpm should do at uninstall?
personally I don't think it should. I have a "ctier" user that I use for other things as well on one linux box. This plays fine with "useradd" because it only adds the user if it doesn't already exist.
I guess it seems overly destructive, but I don't know what the precedent is for it.

on the same note, what about contents under CTL_BASE?

Right ... you can make a case either way ... I nuked then manually
because I wanted to do a clean client install ... but we could err on
the side of caution!
