I know the ports system is designed to install dependencies automatically, but how does one go about removing them? Say one large package installs several dependencies, but then later on that package is removed...and now we're left with several orphaned packages. Is there a way to either detect, or even automatically clean out orphaned packages? I'm particularly concerned because I'm dealing with a few systems which are rather well aged, and have gone through several upgrade cycles. I know the Linux version of the ports system found in Gentoo (portage) offers extensive functionality for finding and removing orphaned dependencies, so I'm hoping FreeBSD has some such feature as well. Thanks.
