Maybe this is not the best place for this (I'm not really sure) but would there be a way to setup the ports tree so that when a particular package is deinstalled that it's dependancies would be deinstalled if they were only installed becasue of the port in the first place. For example Package X depends on Packages A,B, and C. Package A was installed because you needed it for whatever reason but B and C were not. So I install Package X ( and consequently B and C) and when I decide to get rid of Package X for whatever reason it "automagically" knows that B and C were installed due to dependancies and would check if they were needed by other ports/packages and if not interactively go through and deinstall them. Interactively would be that it would prompt the user prior to deinstallation.
"Would you like to remove Package B, since it was installed as a dependancy? [y/N]?", etc. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
