RE: Remove a Port and All Dependencies
Jeff, 'pkg_deinstall -R portname' should work in this case. -- Babak Farrokhi [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Cross Sent: Friday, February 24, 2006 9:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Remove a Port and All Dependencies -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I would like to know if it is possible to remove a port/package and all of the dependencies it installed that are not needed by other applications.

I use this to clean up any ports that don't aren't depended upon anymore and that I don't need anymore. When new leaf-packages (packages that arent depended upon) are created by doing so it will show them again and allow you to remove these too (and so on, recursively). I found this to be a really easy way to clean up an entire system in a matter of minutes. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The OP wants to remove all ports that are *required* by the port (its dependencies).

But furthermore, he wants to remove those that AREN'T NEEDED BY ANY OTHER PORTS. pkg_deinstall won't remove ports that are required by other ports. pkg_deinstalling a Perl (p5-) port, for example, won't forcefully deinstall lang/perl itself (unless you're removing the very last port that requires lang/perl). 'man pkg_deinstall' will tell you how to accomplish what you want. There are a number of other port mgmt utilities as well. (sysutils/portmaster comes to mind.)
