No. Typically one knows the leaves that one has installed for a reason. Build dependencies are the rest. While not 100% perfect it covers the practical usage case. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

If you update or rebuild gstreamer, help2man and flex will be reinstalled and the update takes longer than necessary. If you want to be able to update ports quickly, you should keep the build dependencies. Doing "make pretty-print-build-depends-list" in a ports directory gives you the build dependencies.

How to list all the installed packages...
Hi, Is there a way to show a list of all installed packages that are not required by any other package? Some thing like "pkg_info -aR" where the Required by: field is empty. Ultimately, that would give a list of "software" versus "libraries". The question arise because, while installing a new machine, I found out that I have help2man installed, that is not required by any other package, that I did not install myself, that looks unneeded to me (until I may need it one day). So I would remove it; and would like to make a list of what is removable (that I did not install, and that is not required). TIA, Olivier ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
