I don't know how to explain it well (:P), the script finds which packages are not needed by others, so you can delete those you don't use.
It's my first shell script, so feedback is apreciated, :) This is in
public domain, blah blah blah blah.
#!/bin/ksh
function check_for_packages {
for package in $(pkg_info | cut -f 1 -d \ ); {
echo "Checking if any package depends on $package"
if ! pkg_info -R $package | fgrep -q 'Required by:'; then
tput up dl 0
echo "No package depends on $package, would you like to
delete it? YES/n"
while :; do
read answer
tput up dl 0
case $answer in
YES )
sudo pkg_delete $package
break
;;
n )
break
;;
* )
echo 'YES/n'
;;
esac
done
else
tput up dl 0
fi
}
}
