Hello, There is 'equo unused' and it works, but I was thinking of making something that works more like emerge --depclean (if I understand correctly how it works). I have forked the git repository of Entropy and made such a change.
It can be found here: https://github.com/Enlik/entropy/commits/master. "[entropy.client] equo unused that works more like emerge --depclean It's more like a draft. It works, it prints packages that might be uninstalled, but several options are ignored, etc." to test: git clone…; cd client; equo unused The change is simple, but treat it as experimental (no guarantees!). I don't know the Entropy code base well (heck, I barely do), and I didn't spend much time on looking how things work, but anyway - what's important: - the dependency calculation doesn't seem to be costly! I may have oversimplified something, though; - it seems to work quite well in terms on what is printed (except that maybe spm-installed packages should be treated as installed by user). It works this way: select all packages that are marked as being installed by user, collect their dependencies recursively, and print packages that are installed but not on that collection. I am curious on what you think. Fabio: maybe you would be interested in this as well.
