Well, I use portsnap and portupgrade on a regular basis and therefore I could watch very often the rebuild of ports - a nice and neat thing of FreeBSD. Bit sometimes I or someone else installs ports an they install dependencies and then he/she or I decide to kill/delete a specific port, but very often dependencies remains on the system and doing this deletion a couple of times will end in some 'zombie' remains of ports. Is there a way cleaning up automatically a messy ports collection? Like portupgrade does, only the opposite way, not rebuilding/reinstalling a rebuilt/upgraded port, looking for stale ports never used anymore by another port? Thanks a lot in advance, Oliver P.S. I'm not very familiar with the complexicity of the pkgtoolset and ports collection, sorry. -- O. Hartmann
