Hi all,
I dumped into the need to remove all packages that are not required by
any other, excluding some I am willing to keep (on a
decide-foreach-basis). Is there any tool or option to the pkg_* tools to
help me with this?
I made this perl script
open(PKGS, "ls /var/db/pkg |");
while (<PKGS>) {
chomp;
$files = `ls /var/db/pkg/$_`;
if (!($files =~ /REQUIRED_BY/g)) {
print;
print "\n";
}
}
which, I hope, dumps me the bottom-leaf packages installed...
If there is no such tool or option as mentioned above, please let me
know if there are any problems with the script (I do not go for any
price in beauty, as you can see...). If it works well, it might then be
of use to some of you.
Cheers
Thomas Stratmann
