9 bpkg pkg-drop|drop [options] <pkg>...
10
12 The pkg-drop command drops one or more packages from the configuration.
13 If the packages being dropped still have dependent packages, then those
14 will have to be dropped as well and you will be prompted to confirm.
15 And if the packages being dropped have dependency packages that would
16 otherwise no longer be used, then they will be dropped as well unless
17 the --keep-unused|-K option is specified.
18 The pkg-drop command also supports several options (described below)
20 that allow you to control the amount of work that will be done.
21
23 --yes|-y
24 Assume the answer to all prompts is yes. Note that this option
25 does not apply to the dropping of dependents; use --drop-depen‐
26 dent for that.
27 --no|-n
29 Assume the answer to all prompts is no. Only makes sense
30 together with --print-only|-p.
31 --keep-unused|-K
33 Don't drop dependency packages that were automatically built but
34 will no longer be used.
35 --drop-dependent|-D
37 Don't warn about or ask for confirmation if dropping dependent
38 packages.
39 --keep-dependent
41 Issue an error if attempting to drop dependent packages.

48 thing.

56 ing directory.
