I was used to the pkgsrc notifications about the users and groups leaves, when some ports are removed these leaves are not used anymore. e.g pulseaudio needs some users on the system. Then the pkgsrc framework says to the user that are some users not used anymore and they could remove them safely. Ports has the lack of this kind of notification, that's why I would start writing a patch in the ports infrastructure, or maybe someone already proposed something else ? I apologize for my bad english. King regards. -- Demelier David
