Package tracker, installation tracker, program tracker for linux
by andrewysk from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5ERFX)
I often have problem with uninstalling packages installed not by pamac and pacman.
The reason being:
eg1:
For example, i have OBS software installed, it runs good, but once it crashed, i can not launch the software anymore. Even when i uninstalled OBS and reinstalled, I still can't launch it.. This proved there are some settings stored on my pc that is not removed even when i uninstalled the software. But i can't find the setting to wipe out so that i can have a clean installation of the OBS software.
eg2:
I recently install grive2 package to access google drive.. After build it, i realized it does not have the function that i need. But there is no "uninstall" for grive2. Why should i keep all those junk on pc since i won't be using grive2 anymore..
Hence i think i need to install a installation tracker for all software installed on linux be it manual installation , build ....etc. This will facilitate "uninstallation" process in the future.
If anyone know one, please share with me.
Thanks.
