Does autoremove show you all the leaves and ask which ones you want removed? I honestly don't know (and can't test at the moment); I assumed it only removed the ones with "auto" flag on. In any case, what I actually want is a pkg_cleanup alternative (i.e. cutleaves with a dialog(1)-like interface). There are other utilities that could benefit from being a plugin too. For example "suggest" plugin could use hooks on the build server to construct a database of "binary name->package" mapping, and add "pkg suggest" command on the client to query that database (e.g. "pkg suggest ogg123" would suggest you to install "audio/vorbis-tools", which is an idea that has been floating around). _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
