A script to remove the installation might be handy

How to uninstall?

fundamental commented 4 years ago

I'm personally not interested in providing an explicit uninstall script, but if you need to remove zyn, the install scripts remove old versions with this https://github.com/mruby-zest/mruby-zest-build/blob/master/install-linux.sh#L38-L67

and eventually

~/.zynaddsubfx-bank-cache.xml
~/.zynaddsubfxXML.cfg

in case someone expect them in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config/... :-)

Mixbus seems to add a uninstall script to the /opt/ directory:

`$ cat Mixbus-6.2.70.uninstall.sh

!/bin/sh
