pkg-orphan is a console utility for managing orphan, i.e. unreferenced FreeBSD
|
|
packages. It finds all or selected orphans and lets the user choose which ones
|
|
to remove and which ones to keep. It maintains a keep-list file, so previously
|
|
kept packages will be skipped automatically. In batch mode, all packages, not
|
|
present in the keep-list are either deleted or kept in the list.
|
|
|
|
Since orphan packages are usually much fewer than non-orphan ones, it can be
|
|
useful for quickly finding and deleting unused packages, even on a system with
|
|
hundreds of them installed.
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
- interactive and batch modes
|
|
- maintains a kept package list, to avoid asking for the same package again
|
|
- can delete packages recursively, but without deleting shared dependencies or
|
|
previously kept packages
|
|
- the keep-list file does not contain package versions, so upgrades generally
|
|
don't require editing of the file
