NAME

       App::Pinto::Command::delete - permanently remove an archive

VERSION

       version 0.097

SYNOPSIS

         pinto --root=REPOSITORY_ROOT delete [OPTIONS] TARGET ...

DESCRIPTION

       !! THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL !!

       IMPORTANT:  This command is dangerous.  If you just want to remove packages or
       distributions from a stack, then you should probably be looking at the unregister command
       instead.

       This command permanently removes an archive from the repository, thereby unregistering it
       from all stacks and wiping it from all history (as if it had never been put in the
       repository).  Beware that once an archive is deleted it cannot be recovered.  There will
       be no record that the archive was ever added or deleted, and this change cannot be undone.

       To merely remove packages from a stack (while preserving the archive), use the unregister
       command.

COMMAND ARGUMENTS

       Arguments are the archives that you want to delete.  Archives are specified as
       "AUTHOR/ARCHIVE-NAME".  For example:

         SHAKESPEARE/King-Lear-1.2.tar.gz

       You can also pipe arguments to this command over STDIN.  In that case, blank lines and
       lines that look like comments (i.e. starting with "#" or ';') will be ignored.

COMMAND OPTIONS

       --force
           Deletes the archive even if its packages are pinned to a stack.  Take care when
           deleting pinned packages, as it usually means that particular package is important to
           someone.
