Just how would portage know that an old slot is no longer needed? Just because a newer version is installed doesn't mean it's been compiled or that the old is no longer needed (you might need to compile some package against the old that fails to compile against the new)... For the more general case slot deps aren't allowed in the tree yet so it's not all that easy to figure out which slots are in use. You do risk breaking your system by pruning the wrong package.. Regardless, I do think app-portage/udept at least attempts to do this. I haven't tried it so I can't say how reliable it is, though. -- Bo Andresen
