Do you mean that, given port A, you want to find all ports that need port A in order to be fetched, extracted, patched, built or installed? Or do you want to find all ports that are needed to fetch, extract, patch, build or install port A? If the former, you could look at the parts of ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk that are used by running `make -C $PORTSDIR search bdeps=<insert PKGNAME of port A here> display=name,path`, and `make -C $PORTSDIR search rdeps=<insert PKGNAME of port A here> display=name,path`. If the latter, look at the parts of ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk that are used by running `make -C <insert PKGORIGIN of port A here> pretty-print-run-depends pretty-print-build-depends`. Also, parts of the ports-mgmt/portmaster script used with --index-only may have similar functionality. And do you mean to only use the INDEX? Or are you able to use parts of the port tree? Or the pkg_info utility? b. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
