#25182: pseudo-portname "leaves" should show build dependencies -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: swebster@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.9.0 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- It seems to me that a primary purpose of the pseudo-portname "leaves" is to enable users to find ports that they no longer require so that they can be removed from their system. These ports could come into existence in a variety of ways, such as a requested port changing its dependencies. Unfortunately the command "port list leaves" shows ports which are build dependencies of other installed ports. If these dependencies are removed then when those ports are next updated the build-deps will have to be reinstalled, wasting time and resources. Ideally "port list leaves" would separately identify build dependencies in its output. This ticket is an outgrowth of #25179; sorry if this new ticket is inappropriate. I almost marked it as "enhancement" but per the guidelines it seems to me that this is a feature that is not working as intended. Feel free to switch the type. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25182> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
