[OpenIndiana-discuss] Auto remove of unneeded packages?

[Judah Richardson]

Strong second to this question, in tandem with my pkg clean equivalent

FWIW if you use the pkgsrc repo, it's managed by pgkin, which supports
clean (I think?) & autoremove.

Sorry for the lack of formatting; I'm on a phone.
