Hi, |
| 5 |
i'd like to see a functionality which determines if a certain package - |
| 6 |
that was once installed because of a dep - is no longer needed. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
a simple file would do the trick: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
# pkg_name is_used_by |
| 11 |
package_1 x, y, z |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
if you unmerge package z it gets removed, if all dependencies are gone |
| 14 |
package_1 (which would be a lib or so) can be rmeoved too. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
furthermore it gives the user the ability to check why a certain package |
| 17 |
(which he hasn't explicit emerged) is on the system. |
