Hi,
Is there an easy way to remove all the development packages (from a bash 
prompt) that have been installed after the installation process is 
finished? I have a situation where we would like to compile and install a 
number of packages then remove the compilers etc afterwards to reclaim the 
space as the system is running on a 2Gb CF card. The 'apt-get remove gcc' 
command removes some but its a bit messy.

thanks,
Darren

You could try something drastic like:

# rpm -qa|grep -- -devel-|cut -d- -f-2|xargs apt-get -s remove

... which will show you what would happen if you attempted the removal
of every *-devel package installed.  (There is probably a much more
elegant way of doing this, but 'apt-get remove *-devel' isn't it.)

It would probably be better to put the output of 'rpm -qa' into a file
and look through it to see which *-devel packages have been installed
since the gcc package.  Then 'apt-get -s remove' that list to check that
it's not going to break the system (ie it doesn't remove more packages
through dependencies) and if you're happy, take out the '-s' to do it
for real.

Andrew.

on trustix, I usually do rpm -e `rpm -qa *-devel` and then take actions 
on the dependencies listed (usually by adding |grep -v glibc-devel etc. 
into the backticks.) your method seems quite convoluted to me..

and I don't remove the packages at all, because I use allways a dedicated build environment.
I would never build on the target machine in this case. And if there is no second machine, then
use qemu from contrib and make a build environment on the target machine that you can
remove with nearly one rm.

I do have a dedicated build box (now) but I had this desktop cluttered 
up with -devel packages before I got that set up..

I would just like to point out that it pays off to know your tools, and 
how to combine them efficiently to get the result you want..
one other command I from time to time use:

rpm -q --whatprovides `rpm -q --requires something` | sort -u

anyhoo.. I'll go back to lurking now.. it's not like I actually use this 
distro anyway :P

I know Morten, I only don't understand why. Trustix surely has seen better days than the last.

I just like the environment.. back when tinysofa was new, I gave it a 
spin, but I just didn't feel comfortable.. you can dig up my postings in 
ye olde archive if you care to see my original gripes (and maybe even 
discuss them)

I found a mail from you where you had some complains to tinysofa
enterprise server. Can't discuss about it, because classic server is my
baby.

Hi Morten,
Tinysofa Enterprise and Classic are quite different. Classic is IMO more like 
Trustix. When I switched from Trustix to tinysofa classic I felt instantly at 
home.

Cheers,
Mikael
