I have found that about the only time you need to leave a previous
version on is if there is a large difference in the version number
(assuming you do regular updates). I like keeping things clean so I go
through and do my unmerges about once every week or two.
I'm thinking about writing a script (and the reason I bring this up is
if it already exists, point me to it so i don't waste the time) that
uses the qpkg --dups command and then lists and then asks if you want to
remove certain packages. Maybe even include an option to kill all
duplicates and just have a little file that contains things like
FreeType and DB.
Is there something like that? And, if anyone were interested in
including it with the scripts collection (like Gentools) what would be
the preferred language to write it in?
