Note there is already the port -u upgrade/uninstall option. However, I
think it would make sense to add this new redundant pseudo-port name.
For long term, it could probably replace the global -u option and
upgrade should get a local --delete-inactive flag.
outstanding right now would be "rdepof:<port> and not installed"
For example:
port echo outstanding:gimp
...very long list
^C
forget this!
One quandary for "outstanding" is whether the rdep search should be
performed first, or should branches be pruned as soon as an installed
port is discovered? Maybe separate that question into "outstanding"
and "routstanding"?
This is a general problem for the handling of logical operators with
pseudo-ports. We always build large lists and then merge them. As we are
using a SQL-based registry, we could do more sophisticated queries for
this purpose.
There may be better names of course.
I suggest the name missingdep:<port> for this.
Is this worth submitting an issue to trac? Or, are these just
redundant names for queries that are already possible?
I recommend to discuss new features and enhancements on the mailing list
and only file a ticket once we reached a consensus and settled for a
solution. This way, we can have the discussion with a broader audience
as more people follow the mailing list than specific tickets.
