[Bug 329018] New: software manager: provide aid in removing unused libraries (uninstall)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=329018 Summary: software manager: provide aid in removing unused libraries (uninstall) Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bluedzins@wp.pl QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- This is typical situation, I install app A but it requires library L. I install both, then it appears I don't need A anymore, so I remove it, but I have no clue what to remove too.
From user point of view, it would be great to click on "check for unused software" and SM would show list of unused libraries, so user could easily remove them.
Technically I can imagine it could be done by building reverse dependency tree and show all leaves. The drawback of such approach would be in including main apps too :-) Maybe it could be solved by checking if: 1) there is an executable in the package 2) any of the files in the package were accessed lately 3) did user install it explictly or it was SM call (fullfilling requirements) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
