Dear list
Stupid question again. Is there a commandline tool that I can use to
remove a package 'wmaker', and then it will prompt me if I wish to
remove packages that was required only by 'wmaker' and after wmaker is
removed, become required by no other packages. Such packages existed
only for 'wmaker' is very likely should be removed together with wmaker.
Hi Zhang,
you basically want to remove leaves from the package tree - install
pkg_cutleaves from ports :
pkg_cutleaves-20061113 Interactive script for deinstalling 'leaf' packages
I suggest you run it interactively, as well as creating a file with exclusions
(there are some leaves that you want to keep of course). I run it as :

/usr/home/betom
$ cat bin/show_pkg_leaves.sh
#!/bin/sh
pkg_cutleaves -xcl
HIH,
Beto
