How to remove trac cleanly?

I need to remove Trac but I don't have enough clue.

I heard that I can simply remove all files and they are under /usr/lib

[root@deadwood /]# find /usr/lib -name "*trac*"
/usr/lib/python2.4/test/test_trace.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.4/test/test_traceback.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.4/test/decimaltestdata/subtract.decTest
/usr/lib/python2.4/test/test_traceback.pyo
/usr/lib/python2.4/test/test_trace.py
/usr/lib/python2.4/test/test_traceback.py
/usr/lib/python2.4/test/test_trace.pyo
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Pygments-1.5-py2.4.egg/pygments/styles/trac.py
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Pygments-1.5-py2.4.egg/pygments/styles/trac.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/trac_svn.pth

It seems that only the last three count. Right? And I believe also these two as well?

/usr/bin/tracd
/usr/bin/trac-admin

Would this be done all right?

Solution

  • "If you installed Trac using your package manager, don't try to uninstall it manually. Let your package manager do the work. If you installed via easy_install, don't forget to run easy_install -m PackageName so that Python knows that you removed the package."

    (Echoing bta's comment as an answer so that it can be voted upon and/or accepted.)

    Also, your "find" statement was case sensitive which is why it didn't match "Trac-0.12-py2.4.egg" (capital T in 'Trac'). To match case-insensitively, use -iname instead of -name.
