Uninstall capabilities

Issue #28 resolved
Aaron Bartell created an issue

Currently we don't have simple uninstall for ibmichroot; automated or documented or otherwise. For the immediate future we can document how to do it manually:

rpm --nodeps -e git

but further than that do we want to pursue something like apt or yum for dependency management?

Perzl says no YUM because rpm version is 3.x and YUM requires 4.x.

I am documenting this because it came up as a need today.

Thoughts?

    Well, uninstall is tricky business. That is to say, "short names", essentially "wild cards" are normal rpm uninstall. As you may deduce, can lead to confusion, or, unintended removals. Documenting is just fine.

    YUM, well, maybe someday. I am not excited for IBM i to standalone, do it all, be it all, aka, lead shinning way for AIX. So, yes, i enjoy the silent IBM i partnership of rpms-and-things created by AIX sites like perzl, aix toolbox. Hey, if AIX wants to get it's open source act together with YUM, we can all go along (hint).
