[webmin-devel] Delete old theme / module before installing

[Gehrigal - W. <we...@ge...>]

Hi All!

Is there a way to delete all files of an old version of a module / theme 
before installing the new one?

At the moment old files will be overwritten only. How can i delete old unused 
files?

Thanks!

Bye

Alexander

I assume you want to do this while installing a theme with webmin?

Hmm, what about a something like "rm -f"? Not kidding.

I think you want to reach the point that prior to an installation of your
theme, you want to completely deinstall it. So if you already know where =
it
is installed, why don't you just do something like

	sh -c "rm -f"

or

	sh -c "rm -rf"

bis dahin - kind regards

Actually, this already happens when you use the Webmin Configuration
module to upgrade a module. Just before the new one is extracted, the
old directory is deleted with rm -rf
