Good to hear! |

Besides that, is there anything similar to dep --pruneworld. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
It happens to me sometimes that I forget --oneshot and packages are |
| 30 |
added to the world file that are not intended to be there. So this |
| 31 |
option gives an overview over packages in world that have no reverse |
| 32 |
dependencies and thus are probably not needed. There might still be some |
| 33 |
packages without reverse dependencies in the world file that are |
| 34 |
intended to be there because the user wants it there, but being |
| 35 |
presented with a list of possible unneeded packages it is more easy to |
| 36 |
determine which are intended to be there and which are not. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
For checking the reverse dependencies of single packages there is of |
| 39 |
course "emerge -pv --depclean <atom>", but it is a tedious job to this |
| 40 |
for every entry in the world file. I hacked something together which |
| 41 |
runs the above command for every entry in world but this is very slow |
| 42 |
and dep is much faster doing this check. |
