package-cleanup --leaves --all exists
you only need to know what you are using, thats why i build my own set of
meta packages, look at the SPEC file below, that helps because if deps of
packages i am using are changing i get no longer needed packages listed
without need to filter out my used ones all the time
Thanks for that, Harald. I've copied it to 'useful' and I'll look into
it.
Cheers,
John
