uninstall package

[Vincent Delecroix‏]

Dear all,

Since https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/25139 we are supposed to be
able to uninstall packages (see the script
build/sage_bootstrap/uninstall.py). But I did not find any
documentation on how to actually call the command. Is it intended
to be called directly? Should we add an uninstall directive to
the Application in build/sage_bootstrap/app.py?

Best
Vincent

I sort of found the answer by grepping the source code

$ make PKG-clean

that most of the time calls

$ sage-spkg-uninstall PKG

Shouldn't we make it visible in the documentation?

[Dima Pasechnik‏]

one can run

make <spkg>-clean

which will invoke the script in question to uninstall <spkg>.

Thanks.

For the awali optional packages, the uninstall script does nothing... Is
there something specific to be done to make it work?

The uninstaller looks in local/var/lib/sage/installed/awali-*
for a list of files to unstall. However, it seems to contain no files:

{
"package_name": "awali",
"package_version": "1.0.2-190218",
"install_date": "Sat Jul 20 10:44:01 BST 2019",
"system_uname": "Linux hilbert 5.1.12-gentoo #1 SMP Fri Jun 21
19:27:38 BST 2019 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6600U CPU @ 2.60GHz
GenuineIntel GNU/Linux",
"sage_version": "SageMath version 8.9.beta2, Release Date: 2019-07-10",
"test_result": "",
"files": [

]
}

So this is bug in the installation procedure. I opened
https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/28218 to deal with it.
