Please hold on. What is the purpose of this feature? I can't recall any discussion regarding the topic.
It's okay, but why don't you just try to read the patch in which the purpose of the feature is *explicitly* written?
Well, perhaps you misread my question. I meant "what the code in question is expected to be used for?", not "what the code in question does?". Also
I don't differentiate the two, or three. All your questions above sounds pointless to me. What are you implying actually?
idea to hardcode regex (two of them actually) into an utility doesn't looks very solid to me, instead I would like to see it be specificable (or at least overrideable) from the command line, i.e.:
# pkg_delete -P ^.\*foo.bar foo-0.0 (don't delete files which end with `foo.bar').
Sounds interesting, but I'm afraid it would be superfluous, I mean you might be doing YAGNI[*], since I don't see why we need this extension as much as we just need to preserve shared libraries.
I suggest you explain the expected use of it, that is, what for example you want to preserve other than old shared libraries.
Regards,
