-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-14983 2013-08-19 20:20:54 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : rpmorphan Product : Fedora 19 Version : 1.12 Release : 4.fc19 URL : http://rpmorphan.sourceforge.net Summary : List packages that have no dependencies (like deborphan) Description : rpmorphan finds "orphaned"[1] packages on your system. It determines which packages have no other packages depending on their installation, and shows you a list of these packages. It intends to be clone of deborphan Debian tools for rpm packages.
It will try to help you to remove unused packages, for example: * after a distribution upgrade * when you want to suppress packages after some tests
Several tools are also provided : * rpmusage - display rpm packages last use date * rpmdep - display the full dependency of an installed rpm package * rpmduplicates - find programs with several version installed
Yum offers a program called 'package-cleanup' which you can use to carry out similar tasks.
[1] Note that orphan is used in the sense of Debian's deborphan, and is NOT the same as Fedora orphaned packages which are packages that have no current maintainer.
