Excellent! This does exactly what I was after!
Here's how I run it:
echo Installed before:
pkg_info |wc -l
sleep 3
/home/eskimo/bin/pkg_nodeps.sh |less
echo Installed after:
pkg_info |wc -l
The basic idea is to thumb through the list and spot the ports that are
no longer needed, then copy & paste the port name to a seperate terminal
and pkg_delete it. This is a great way to efficiently remove unneeded
ports.
Thanks Marcus!
