Orphans

[OmegaSW]

How do I handle Orphans in Sabayon?
Will

Code: Select all

 emerge --depclean -a 

break my system?

[eor2004]

I think the command is "equo cleanup [-h]" or "equo cleanup" something like that, the command should Clean up the downloaded packages and remove temporary directories.

For more info look here: https://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=En:List_Of_Equo_Functions

equo upgrade --purge, removes unmaintained packages
equo unusedpackages, I don't know what "unused" means, because it lists packages from world

equo query orphans

Explore that list, and be very, VERY careful before removal...

By "orphans" I think OmegaSW means orphan packages not files.
emerge --depclean -> "Cleans the system by removing packages that are not associated with explicitly merged packages."

[batvink]

emerge --depclean ????
i don't think he's messing around with Portage., or has a
Portage only system.
equo cleanup would be more appropriate....

[sebaro]

Maybe he/she used Gentoo before and wants Sabayon's alternative to "emerge --depclean".

I got to this topic by searching for the same thing. How do I remove the packages no longer used. If I want to remove xbmc how do I remove its dependencies that are not needed by other packages?
"equo cleanup" removes downloaded binary packages from /var/lib/entropy/client/packages not packages from the system.

What does the "--norecursive" option do?
What about the "--deep" option? It shows more packages.
