Pretty useful script. Let me know what you think, and modify how you'd like. #!/bin/bash #Shows unrequired packages and missing dependencies. #Author: Jerry Haltom <ssrit@larvalstage.net> if [ `whoami` != "root" ] then echo 'Only root can run this tool.' exit fi tmp="/tmp/$$" rm -rf ${tmp} > /dev/null 2>&1 mkdir ${tmp} > /dev/null 2>&1 rm ${tmp}/current ${tmp}/i > /dev/null 2>&1 touch ${tmp}/current ${tmp}/image ${tmp}/safe ${tmp}/needed #Retrieve currently merged packages. echo Retrieving currently merged packages. find /var/db/pkg -name '*.ebuild' \ | sed s:/var/db/pkg/:: \ | sed s/-[0-9].*// \ | sort \ | sort -u \ >> ${tmp}/current echo ' ' `cat ${tmp}/current | wc -l` 'currently merged packages.' echo #Open currently merged packages in text viewer for review. #${EDITOR} ${tmp}/current echo 'Retrieving desired packages.' #Retrieve system packages and add to image. emerge system -e -p \ | grep ^\\[ebuild \ | sed s/^...........................// \ | sed s/.....$// \ | sed s/-[0-9].*// \ | sort \ | sort -u \ >> ${tmp}/image echo ' ' `cat ${tmp}/image | wc -l` 'packages contained in system.' #Create local copy of world and ask user to verify it. #echo 'Please add or remove packages from world.' cp /var/cache/edb/world ${tmp}/world #${EDITOR} ${tmp}/world echo ' ' `cat ${tmp}/world | wc -l` 'packages contained in world.' echo #Retrieve world packages and dependencies and add to image. echo 'Listing world and total number of dependencies.' for pkg in `cat ${tmp}/world | sort | sort -u` do emerge ${pkg} -e -p \ | grep ^\\[ebuild \ | sed s/^...........................// \ | sed s/.....$// \ | sed s/-[0-9].*// \ > ${tmp}/pkg-deps echo ' ' ${pkg} `cat ${tmp}/pkg-deps | wc -l` cat ${tmp}/pkg-deps >> ${tmp}/image done echo #Cleanup image sort ${tmp}/image | sort -u > ${tmp}/image.new mv ${tmp}/image.new ${tmp}/image #Show user the final image. #echo 'Review the final destination system image.' #${EDITOR} ${tmp}/image #echo #Determine packages that exist in current but not in image.

check out what I've hacked up based on your script at http://www.lostlogicx.com/ebuilds/depend.scr Let me know what you think and then I'll talk to karltk about including it in gentoolkit, I do find it quite convenient :)
Cool and all... except it's broken now. hehe. These packages have no other packages depending on them. app-admin/fam-oss-2.6.7 app-admin/gentoolkit-0.1.10 app-admin/gentoolkit-0.1.11 app-misc/screen-3.9.11-r2 app-office/gnumeric-1.0.6 app-text/ghostscript-6.53-r2 dev-java/blackdown-jre-1.3.1-r7 dev-lang/tcl-8.3.3-r1 dev-libs/glib-2.0.1-r5 ... continued. Ill be looking over it a bit later.
Ok looked over it a bit more. The reason I looped over emerge -ep $worldline is because emerge -ep apparently has a bug that does not list all the correct dependencies when done on world. I could never place the bug, but it did effect results.
well I didn't do it on "world" I did it on the list of packages IN world... the way you had it was just taking forever at runtime... not that hard to switch it really... hmm...
fixed. at a compromise in runtime... new version same place as the old. I'm going to talk to karltk as soon as I get a chance about including it... if he agrees with me that it is a convenient tool, would you be interested in making a man page for it?
Another update to the version posted on my website... MUCH faster by using a single qpkg call and an fgrep... I can probably still make it faster... but I haven't gotten to that yet.
I've been doing more work on this... added another feature that started as a bug... check it out at the URL posted previously... I think it is getting close to production ready.
OK so I have time on my hands... but I updated the script a wee bit more, now it parses multiple short opts together (ie. -CNvRUI) to do this I had to change the no color short option to -C, hope that doesn't bother anyone... how to import this functionality into qpkg... :)
Haha awesome. Looks like it really took off. Yes, I think this should be included in qpkg...
I poked at qpkg with a stick, due to the types of options that the original qpkg author used I can't make it parse combined shorts... I am beginning to more seriously consider karltk's previous suggestion of deprecating qpkg and rewriting it from scratch with a new name... Hmm... still haven't done the man page for dep-clean (or whatever we end up calling it in gentoolkit) any chance of you doing it, Jerry?
Sure. What are we going to call it?
Created attachment 2363 [details] man page for dep-clean Per our discussions...
Its in, thanks Jerry and Paul for your work on this!
