1) How can I display the dependencies between the ports I have
installed on my 4.9-RELEASE machine? There seem to be some ports in
/var/db/pkg that I haven't intentionally installed and I would like to
get rid of some of them, but I don't know if they are used by other
ports.
Try:
pkg_info -r name of package as it appears in /var/db/pkg
2) I use portinstall to install ports, but if I want to delete a port,
is the only way to use make deinstall? It would be nice if there was
something like portdeinstall that would remove the specified port and
any ports it depends on (providing they are not used elsewhere).
pkg_delete can remove the packages created by ports (better than make
deinstall, which can fail after you've updating your ports tree and the
port has been upgraded.)
pkg_delete -r will remove the package and any packages that depend on
it.
But for what you want (remove the package and all packages that it
depends on (that no other package depends on,)) I'm not sure how to do
it with the standard tools. I find the sysutils/pkg_cutleaves port is
handy for this purpose though, and definately worth a look in your
situation.
