Userdata is user owned data - also configuration is 'owned/created' by the user. I'd consider it terrible practice to delete any data the USER/OWNER put on his machine on package removal.
I think Vojtěch means something like "apt-get purge xyz".
Exactly. Thank You.
What "apt-get purge" is doing is the default of RPM?
"apt-get purge" does NOT delete any user data. "apt-get purge" does only delete configuration files, except it is in the users home directory or something similar. What does RPM? - it always removes the configuration files. If the configuraton file was changed, a backup (*.rpmsave) will be keeped.
So please be a little bit more verbose what you want to archive compared to the current status.
I'm sorry, this was my mistake. I thought "apt-get purge" is deleting also the data, not only configuration; and RPM leaves everything in place. My concert was if there is/could be optional parameter to delete also the data and configuration when removing particular package. Sorry for the too much noise.
dpkg -i --auto-deconfigure removes the configuration data as well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
