I did it manually, editing the world file to remove anything I thought I didn't need directly, then running emerge depclean -p. If it showed up something I wanted, I added it to the world file. You could probably do something that used equery/qpkg to check each package in world to see if it was a dependency of something else and filter it out if it was. This should do it, but it's a QAD kludge I haven't tested. cat /var/lib/portage/world | while read p; do [ $(qpkg -I -nc -q $p | wc -l) -eq 2 ] && echo $p; done -- Neil Bothwick It's not a bug, it's tradition!
