Poof is a command line utility to list and uninstall/remove OS X packages.
NO WARRANTY DON'T BLAME ME if you destroy your OS X installation!
NEVER REMOVE com.apple.* packages unless you know what you're doing.
How it works:
It first removes all files and directories declared by the package and then forget the metadata (the receipt data).
Get poof:
$ curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ruda/poof/master/poof.py
$ chmod +x poof.py
