In ancient times (2 years ago or so), Lucas Hazel announced a few scripts that could take a snapshot of the package database, and later restore it.

Short answer: quickdep & dependent. Long answer: for p in `prt-get quickdep xfce4`; do \ d=$(prt-get dependent $p); \ if [ -z "$d" ]; then echo $p; fi ; done Replace 'echo' with 'pkgrm' if you want to directly remove them.

Of course, there's no need to use the temporary: for p in `prt-get quickdep xfce4`; do \ if [ -z "$(prt-get dependent $p)" ]; then echo $p; fi ; done Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann mailto:jw@smts.ch Zurich, Switzerland http://jw.smts.ch

That wouldn't work, because "prt-get dependent $p" will always have at least "xfce4" in its list of dependent packages ;) Maybe this: for p in `prt-get quickdep xfce4`; do \ if [ xfce4 == "$(prt-get dependent $p)" ]; then echo $p; fi ; done Or perhaps he should first remove xfce4 and THEN run your command.

Or perhaps he should first remove xfce4 and THEN run your command. I guess the best way would be to revert the list obtained with quickdep.

that's good: http://crux.nu/Main/PrtUtils negative side is that it also asks me to remove Emacs too :-) or i can say positive-interpretation is that user *knows* what exactly he is doing ;-)

No Bye. you have to give me the answer ;-)

man page was so small, i overlooked it :-(
i there i read: "List of packages to keep are stored in ~/.keepers."
that is fine. i will put Emacs there but "man page" also says "packages in core port are never considered for deletion but "pkgfoster" asks me to remove packages from core port :-(. what can i do so that pkgfoster totally ignores the core and xorg ports ?

i think the problem with the core ports is that the ports are (as far as i know) hardcoded into pkgfoster (and not updated, yet). a solution could be to add all the core and xorg ports to your .keepers file. bye richi
