Alternative for ports-mgmt/pkg_cutleaves

pkg_cutleaves works for pkg-ng if you set WITH_PKGNG...

This was added back in 2009 ... It should probably be updated to auto-detect this, or something, now that people are actually using pkg-ng...

Many thanks for the hint. I guess, I will use this one for cleaning-up in the regular ports update sequence.

I just installed and ran ports-mgmt/pkg-rmleaf and I found it a very nice replacement for ports-mgmt/pkg_cutleaves. Many thanks for the pointer.

Well, maybe in theory. In practice it shows me ports that are not installed anymore. I made the switch to pkgng one month ago, and of course I ran pkg2ng and set WITH_PKGNG=yes in /etc/make.conf, otherwise nothing would have worked.
 
This simple query shows installed ports that nobody is depending on and are by definition leaf ports:

pkg query -e "%#r=0" %n-%v

I've noticed over time that pkg-autoremove(8) doesn't catch all leaf ports because for some reason ports that are pulled in as dependencies do not get flagged as automatic. The above query would catch those ports as well.
