[2010-11-05 22:34] markus schnalke <meillo(_at_)marmaro(_dot_)de>A second try for removing only what install-mh(1) installs: ctx="${MHCONTEXT:-`mhparam context`}" case "$ctx" in '/*') rm "$ctx" ;; *) rm "`mhpath +`/$ctx" ;; esac rmdir "`mhpath +`" rm "$MH" || rm ~/.mh_profileI discovered another mistake in this code. Install-mh(1) always stores the context as ``context'' within the mail directory. This simplifies the work: rm "`mhpath +`/context"
That, my friends, is only safe if there's one context file. Consider this: export MHCONTEXT=~/Mail/.mhcontext-`tty|sed -e "s,.dev.,," -e "s,/,.,"` to support a separate context for each xterm you have open.... Also, remember there can be a 'context' entry in .mh_profile, which would mean that 'mhparam context' would find it but your rm command would fail to find it. Bottom line - you *really* need to front-end an 'uninstall-mh' with some checks to verify that you're trying to clean up a virgin never-used MH environment. If the user has been monkeying with its innards, it's really hard to do correctly.
