It finds all or selected orphans and lets the user choose which ones +to remove and which ones to keep. It maintains a keep-list file, so previously +kept packages will be skipped automatically. In batch mode, all packages, not +present in the keep-list are either deleted or kept in the list. + +Since orphan packages are usually much fewer than non-orphan ones, it can be +useful for quickly finding and deleting unused packages, even on a system with +hundreds of them installed. + +Features: + - interactive and batch modes + - maintains a kept package list, to avoid asking for the same package again + - can delete packages recursively, but without deleting shared dependencies or + previously kept packages + - the keep-list file does not contain package versions, so upgrades generally + don't require editing of the file + +WWW: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pkg-orphan/ + +- Victor Semionov +semionov@mail.bg |
