rm -rf /usr/local/lib/perl/There may still be some man pages installed in /usr/local/man/ that relate to these non-cygutils-provided modules, so you might want to investigate the /usr/local/man tree for anything that looks "perlish" and remove it. I didn't bother.
Contributed by Vladimir Ivanovic. Additional 'obsolete' packages can easily by added by dropping the original .tar.gz file into the 'packages' directory or by generating .list.tar.gz files with the included scripts. See the README.
This version includes .list.tar.gz files to remove the following packages:
These packages are all of the ones that have been obsoleted as of 2001-May-13. They had been included in the 1999-Dec-08, 2000-May-06, 2000-Aug-25, or 2000-Dec-03 cygutils usr-local releases.
Overview
========
Certain contributed packages for Cygwin 1.1 have been made "obsolete" because
they've been incorporated into the standard distribution of Cygwin. So, if you
have an up-to-date Cygwin distribution, and you've installed some of these
packages, you can remove the files in these packages without loss of
functionality, and gain more disk space and a faster shell.
The obsolete packages are listed on Chuck Wilson's web page:
http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/index.html#note1
Unpacking the scripts
=====================
Unpack the distribution `RemoveObsoletePackages.tar.gz' with
$ tar xvzf RemoveObsoletePackages.tar.gz
in some temporary directory.
This will create a new directory (RemoveObsoletePackages) with three scripts
and a directory called `packages' which contains all the obsolete package
archive files. To save download size, these are actually 'fakes' generated
by the conv_dist_to_list.sh script from the 'real' obsolete archive files.
The 'fakes' contain only '0 byte' files with identical names and directory
structure of the original tarballs. So, the obsolete zlib package
zlib-1.1.3-1-cygwin1.tar.bz2
is represented by the fake tarball
zlib-1.1.3-1-cygwin1.list.tar.bz2
However, you are free to put your own 'real' tarballs into the package
directory if you like.
Executing the scripts
=====================
Perform the first four steps only if you wish to customize the file deletion.
1. [Optional] Delete from the directory `packages' all the archives that
you have not installed. It's OK if you leave the directory as is.
2. [Optional] If you installed the cygutils usrlocal package but never
updated to its newer version (released on May 6, 2000) then you might
want to copy the files in packages/very-old/* into packages/. See
packages/very-old/README.
3. [Optional] Delete 'obsoleted_files.data' and then run the script
`make_data_file.sh'. This will create a new 'obsoleted_files.data' file
that lists all the files you are going to delete.
4. [Optional] Examine the contents of `obsoleted_files.data' before
executing the next step. Delete any file you wish to preserve. If directories
become empty, they will be deleted as well; so if you wish to preserve
directories remove those entries from 'obsoleted_files.data' The directory
will NEVER be removed if there are still files in it -- the script does
NOT use 'rm -rf' ever. So, don't worry that "usr/" appears in
obsoleted_files.data.
5. Execute the script `remove_obsolete.sh' with
$ remove_obsolete.sh
or if you wish to log the files that were deleted, with
$ remove_obsolete.sh | tee --append remove_obsolete.log
Nothing should go wrong, go wrong, go wrong, ... but if something does, please
let me know so I can correct the error(s)!

Implementation Notes
=====================
If the distribution tarball for an obsoleted package contains symlinks to
directories, then there could be unintended consequences. (Symlinks to
files are not a problem). The worst that could happen in the former case is
that the symlink to the directory could get removed, even though the
target directory to which the symlink points is not empty.
Just recreate the symlink by hand if this happens -- however, NONE of the
cygutils packages have symlinks-to-directories, so this isn't an issue.
I only mention this because folks *might* use this package for something
other than removing obsoleted cygutils usr-local packages.
