Want to clean up your world file?

Here is a script I found that does the trick

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

while read i ; do \
        if [ -n "$(qdepends -Q $i)" ]; then \
                echo '' ; echo 'checking '$i ;
                if [ -n "$(emerge -p --quiet --depclean $i)" ]; then \
                        echo $i' needs to stay in @world'
                else
                        echo $i' can be deselected'
                        echo $i >> /tmp/deselect
                fi
        fi
done < /var/lib/portage/world

Cheers!
