Re: lazy man's "pkg_delete" (terrible script - help!)

[Chuck Yerkes <chuck+obsd@2003.snew.com>]

cd /var/db/pkg; pkg_delete xm*

1) your version (without the cd) leaves the shell to expand xm* which
   varies, depending on the cwd.
2) bash is not part of openbsd.  Please leave your linux haven
   and understand that many things port easily to Linux, but
   many Linux programmers write crap that can't be ported out
   of Linux.  Use the Posix shell.
3) it would be handy if pkg_* would strip off paths for
   pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/xm*  to work.
