Hey..., Is there a utility to display the dependencies of a port which have yet to be installed ? I know you can get a complete dependency list on freebsd.org/ports , pkg_info -r or just looking in the files in the ports dir. But is there a command to display only the dependencies which haven't been installed on your system yet ? I also looked at pkg_add -n but it immediately starts fetching the packages needed. I don't want to start downloading the complete package just because I want a list of ports I haven't installed yet. Or is the only way making a diff between the pkg_info -r output and your pkg_info -a ? If so : Is there a way to tell pkg_info when using the -r flag on a not-yet-installed-port to only get a list of the dependencies instead of downloading the complete package ? Or is there just an other utility which can display this information which I'm not aware of ? Thanks in advance, -- -Frank Staals _______________________________________________
Yes, read man ports before asking : http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ports&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.1-RELEASE&format=html cd to the dir of the port you wish to know the dependencies of and issue one or both of these commands: *pretty-print-run-depends-list*, *pretty-print-build-depends-list* Print a list of all the compile and run dependencies, and dependencies of those dependencies.
