Description Wesley Leggette 2002-08-10 13:23:51 UTC

Portage should be able to uninstall dependancies (or let you choose which ones
to uninstall, perhaps interactively) automatically. At the very least, there
should be some sort of interface that will show dependancy trees of certain or
all packages you have installed. Ebuilders should also include more
documentation about a packages' dependancies. What function do they provide, and
what will be the effect of removing them. Also, there should be some sort of
protection/downgrading mechanism for upgrades that are net compatible with past
versions (ala Gnome 2.0).
