by
from OpenBSD Journal on (#6WY8R)

Klemens Nanni (kn@)committed a changeremoving misleading messages on package update:

CVSROOT:/cvsModule name:srcChanges by:kn@cvs.openbsd.org2025/04/28 12:56:25Modified files:usr.sbin/pkg_add/OpenBSD: Delete.pm Log message:Stop advising to remove files on updateThe following only make sense on for pkg_delete(1), yet pkg_add(1) printsthem as well, which is confusing at best and trips up way too many people:"You should also run ..." (often "rm -rf /something/important*")"You should also remove ..."No longer print those when -u is used.There may be some commands"i like it" ian kirillOK phessler kmos

Quieter and more accurate updates - what's not to like?
