| 2 | |
| 3 1. Determine the provenence of every file on my system. | |
| 4 2. Always have an "undo" button. | |
| 5 | |
| 6 These criteria have evolved from my frustrations | |
| 7 with my previous LFS system. | |

| 12 Suppose I want to install emacs. | |
| 13 | |
| 14 here's a sample terminal session | |
| 15 | |
| 16 $ pkg emacs "a text editor" | |
| 17 > creating user emacs. | |
| 18 > cd /pkg/emacs | |
| 19 | |
| 20 $ wget http://emacs.com/emacs.tar.bz2 | |
| 21 > downloaded emacs.tar.bz2 | |
| 22 | |
| 23 $ unp emacs.tar.bz2; cd emacs; configure; | |
| 24 make install; | |
| 25 > install stuff.. | |
| 26 | |
| 27 $ hg st | |
| 28 > a bunch of files are added | |
| 29 | |
| 30 1. Say I don't want emacs after all. | |
| 31 $ hg purge; hg revert --all | |
| 32 | |
| 33 2. Complete emacs instilation | |
| 34 > hg addr; hg commit -m "emacs." | |

| 39 $ pkg-examine emacs | |
| 40 > package emacs owns the following files: | |
| 41 > emacs | |
| 42 > man/emacs | |
| 43 > .... | |
| 44 | |
| 45 4. see all the commits that the "emacs" user made. | |
| 46 $ pkg-history emacs | |
| 47 > <filtered mercurial log> | |
| 48 | |
| 49 5. remove a package in its entirety | |
| 50 $ pkg-remove emacs | |
| 51 > removed | |
| 52 > <list of files> | |
