NAME

App::Pinto::Command::delete - permanently remove an archive

VERSION

version 0.065_03

SYNOPSIS

pinto --root=REPOSITORY_ROOT deiete [OPTIONS] TARGET ...

DESCRIPTION

!! THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL !!

This command permanently removes an archive from the repository, thereby unregistering it from all stacks and wiping it from all history (as if it had never been put in the repository). Beware that once an archive is deleted it cannot be recovered.

To merely remove packages from a stack (while preserving the archive), use the unregister command.

COMMAND ARGUMENTS

Arguments are the archives that you want to delete. Archives are specified as AUTHOR/ARCHIVE-NAME. For example:

SHAKESPEARE/King-Lear-1.2.tar.gz

You can also pipe arguments to this command over STDIN. In that case, blank lines and lines that look like comments (i.e. starting with "#" or ';') will be ignored.

COMMAND OPTIONS

--force

Deletes the archive even if its packages are pinned to a stack. Take care when deleting pinned packages, as it usually means that particular package is important to someone.
