Basic Port Management.Is there any?
Hello ! , As a fresh Freebsd user[and fan] I am trying to set up my WM / X environment and choose the apps I will use for basic stuff. Text Editors , Image viewers , Mail apps , FileManagers. So after I see some screenshots [it would be very nice and handy if some screenshots could be added to the freebsd.org/ports database] I'm making install the port to check it out. Some times , I decided that I don't like it . So my first though is to get rid of it , cause I don't want ''trash'' on my system. I'm making deinstall [or pkg_delete] to remove it. Everything ok so far , but what about the one zillion dependant pkg's the app made? You can say , do a pkg_delete -r . Yes but this will may delete also pkgs that are Needed by other ports/apps.. Is there any good plan solution for this ?... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Once in a while, you can install a tool that deals with leafs (there are a few in ports collection). Leafs are ports that are not needed by anything, so you can safely delete them. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As for ports' management I'd recommend installing sysutils/portupgrade some people like sysutils/portmanager better though.. but I can't really say I'm familliar with that though.. the portupgrade port is a set of utilities to help you manage your installed ports.. it's got pkg_deinstall which seems to have what you seek pkg_deinstall -R would deinstall a package's dependencies as well ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
