NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       bpkg pkg-drop|drop [options] <pkg>...
10       bpkg pkg-drop|drop [options] --all|-a
11       bpkg pkg-drop|drop [options] (--all-pattern <pattern>)...
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The  pkg-drop  command drops from the configuration the specified pack‐
15       ages (the first form), all the held  packages  (the  second  form,  see
16       bpkg-pkg-status(1)),  or  all  the  held packages that match any of the
17       specified wildcard patterns (the third form).  If  the  packages  being
18       dropped  still  have  dependent  packages,  then  those will have to be
19       dropped as well and you will be prompted to confirm. And if  the  pack‐
20       ages  being  dropped  have  dependency packages that would otherwise no
21       longer be used, then they will be dropped as well unless the --keep-un‐
22       used|-K option is specified.
23
24       The  pkg-drop  command  also supports several options (described below)
25       that allow you to control the amount of work that will be done.
26

PKG-DROP OPTIONS

28       --all|-a
29              Drop all held packages.
30
31       --all-pattern pattern
32              Drop held packages that match the  specified  wildcard  pattern.
33              Repeat this option to match multiple patterns. Note that you may
34              need to quote the pattern to prevent expansion by your shell.
35
36       --yes|-y
37              Assume the answer to all prompts is yes. Note that  this  option
38              does  not apply to the dropping of dependents; use --drop-depen‐
39              dent for that.
40
41       --no|-n
42              Assume the answer to all prompts is no.  Only  makes  sense  to‐
43              gether with --print-only|-p.
44
45       --keep-unused|-K
46              Don't drop dependency packages that were automatically built but
47              will no longer be used.
48
49       --drop-dependent|-D
50              Don't warn about or ask for confirmation if  dropping  dependent
51              packages.
52
53       --keep-dependent
54              Issue an error if attempting to drop dependent packages.
55
56       --dependent-exit code
57              Silently  exit  with  the  specified error code if attempting to
58              drop dependent packages.
59
60       --disfigure-only
61              Disfigure all the packages but don't purge.
62
63       --print-only|-p
64              Print to stdout what would be done without actually  doing  any‐
65              thing.
66
67       --plan header
68              Print  the  plan  (even if --yes is specified) and start it with
69              the header line (unless it is empty).
70
71       --directory|-d dir
72              Assume configuration is in dir rather than in the current  work‐
73              ing directory.
