[Enhancement] Allow an easy way to uninstall if it was installed from source #87

Closed cfviotti closed 4 years ago

cfviotti commented 4 years ago

I see now that there is a PPA available for Ubuntu distros, and I'd wish to remove my current installation made from source in order to rely on the PPA, since I may get automatic updates now!

There is no make uninstall rule currently, and I'm not familiar with what the install rule actually did to undo the steps manually. It would be great to have that available! Thank you!

If you installed using the method described in the README, the make process might have generated a install_manifest.txt file which lists all the generated files.

Just remove all the files listed inside it and you should be fine.

I guess it might be a good idea to regenerate the plasma indices using this:

$ plasmapkg2 -g --generate-index

But that might not be needed.

One more thing: tried googling for the PPA but could not find anything about it. Mind to post the link?

Thanks! I'll give it try later! As for the PPA, it's a bit hidden in the repo itself! Check the INSTALLATION.md :wink:

Thanks for the heads up! Missed that somehow
