It's a bit of a shock to try to delete a port and see a list of a few hundred ports being deleted with it. E.g. png or pcre. (pkg does ask for confirmation after the list is printed and '-f' will override and delete just the package specified.) "pkg info -d PACKAGE" does provide a list of a package's dependencies and '-r' shows packages depending on the specified package. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkober...@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
