++ 17/02/02 16:53 -0800 - Ross Lippert: | | Gregory, | | OK, you are starting to get it. Now, do I edit it to have the 168 | results from | pkg_info -a | grep '^Information for' | into the file? | | This is unnecessarily complicated. For example, I don't need a line | for qt-2.3.1 if I have one for kde-2.2. In fact, on my current system | 102 packages are requirements of other packages and would not be needed | in my personal workstation profile. Perhaps you could look through /var/db/pkg, and any package that doesn't have a "+REQUIRED_BY" file would be flagged as a package you need to install. --pete -- Pete Fritchman [petef@(databits.net|freebsd.org|csh.rit.edu)] finger petef@databits.net for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
