Other problem, same direction: When uninstalling a package (e.g.

with a bunch of updates or extensions (office, firefox, ...) it would be
nice to say "uninstall (profile-id: ...)" and all included packages go
away ...

I guess so far we focused much more on installing things than on uninstalling them...

It should be pretty easy to implement as you can use something like the appendDependencies() function. IMHO we should add an attribute to the package entry to indicate wether to allow recursive uninstalling or not (in case several packages have the same dependency). A command line arguments for /remove: or /install: can be also useful.

We really need this feature for a complete dependency handling in wpkg.

Just my $0.02.
