Hi all, I'm new to this mailing list and also I don know anything about zypp development. I'm also new to openSUSE, so you may think "what the xxxx are you doing here?". I try to explain... IMHO one of the most annoying missing feature in the openSUSE package management (afaik, YaST and zypper) is that once a user installs a package (i.e. in order to test it), the package management automagically checks for missing dependencies and find all libraries that are required but not yet installed and install them. This is cool, The missing feature is that when the user uninstalls the package all the installed dependencies are left there... there is no help in finding where are such orphan packages. First of all... is it true? Is there no way to "cleanup" such dependencies? Something that is doing the work "apt-get autoremove" is doing in Ubuntu Systems. If it is not currently possible... why not make it so? Looking on the net I found the following links: * https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=425890 looks like there is a feature request related to this stuff. I wrote down some ideas on how this feature can be implemented. * http://opensuse.awardspace.com/ where John Thomas started putting down some YaST mockups with some other ideas. Is there someone working on this? May I help in some way? Where can I find documentation on how openSUSE package management works?
