Uninstalling Petals ESB

According to Debian policies, Petals ESB packages can be uninstalled with or without purging configuration files, with your favorite Debian tools (synaptic, apt-get, dpkg).

In addition to the runtime files, the purge will remove following directories containing some configuration or working files:

• /etc/petals-esb/container-enable
• /var/lib/petals-esb
• /var/log/petals-esb
• /var/run/petals-esb

The dedicated Petals system user and group are also removed when purging packages. The Petals container configurations (/etc/petals-esb/container-available) are never removed except the sample one, to be reused eventually.

All Petals ESB container declared into /etc/petals-esb/container-enable will be automatically stopped during the uninstallation process. If you have started manually other Petals ESB containers, you must stop them before to launch the uninstallation process.

Upgrading Petals ESB

To update the installed version of Petals ESB:

• just uninstalled Petals ESB packages without purging it:

  > sudo dpkg -r petals-esb ...

• and installed new Petals ESB packages.

All Petals ESB container declared into /etc/petals-esb/container-enable will be automatically stopped during the uninstallation process and restarted during the installation process. If you have started manually other Petals ESB containers, you must stop them before to launch the uninstallation process, and restart them after the installation process.
