I noticed that there is a bunch of xorg installed on my web server for some reason:
They may be dependencies
xorg-clients-6.8.2 X client programs and related files from X.Org...
I was just wondering, do I really need all that xorg stuff for a simple web server
Probably not. Perhaps you installed a package that required them.
, or is it safe to run a pkg_delete on these items without breaking any other packages?
There is a port, pkg_tree which you can install and see all dependencies. There are other ways, but I find pkg_tree to be easy to use/visualize.
unless xorg is available, so does anyone know which ones these might be?
There are many :-(
You can also cd /var/db/pkb/<pkg_name> cat +REQUIRED_BY
That will show you which packages depend on a particular port..
To find which ports depend on xorg you could try
cd /var/db/pkg
find . -name "+REQUIRED_BY" -exec grep -li xorg {} \;Hope that helps.
