There was a recent thread about about what should or should not be in |
| 2 |
the world file. |

Regarding that, my world file is bloated. Until recently, I had a |
| 5 |
tendency to do updates piecemeal but did not use --oneshot. This put |
| 6 |
packages in that I do not think belong. |

Looking for a means to clean up the world file, I ran across Ed Catmur's |
| 9 |
"dep". |

Has anyone here used it? Is it the best means available to clean the |
| 12 |
world file? Anything in the gentoo tree to do this? |

BTW, I ran it with the --pretend option and it told me that 44 of the |
| 17 |
119 packages in my world file were redundant. |
