=head1 NAME
rpmorphan - find orphaned packages
=head1 DESCRIPTION
rpmorphan finds "orphaned" 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 is clone of deborphan debian software for rpm packages.
It will try to help you to remove unused packages, for exemple :
- after a distribution upgrade
- when you want to suppress packages after some tests
=head1 SYNOPSIS
rpmorphan [options] [targets]
or
grpmorphan [options] [targets]
using grpmorphan is a short way to use "rpmorphan -gui"
options:
-help brief help message
-man full documentation
-V, --version print version
-verbose verbose
-dry-run simulate package remove
-fullalgo force full algorythm

=head1 REQUIRED ARGUMENTS
you should provide at least one target. this can be
=over 8
=item B<-all>
all the installed rpm package
=item B<-package>
one or several explicit package
=item B<-guess-*>
pre-selected packages groups
=item B<-guess-custom>
give a filter to select the packages you want study. you can use regular expressions.
=back
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 8
=item B<-help>
Print a brief help message and exits.
=item B<-man>
Print the manual page and exits.
=item B<-version>
Print the program release and exit.
=item B<-verbose>
The program works and print debugging messages.
=item B<-dry-run>
this is a simulation mode : rpmorphan will show you what is
the result of package removing. The window's title is modified
to show this mode.
=item B<-use-cache>
the rpm query may be long (10 to 30 s). If you will run an rpmorphan tool
several time, this option will allow to gain a lot of time :
it save the rpm query on a file cache (first call), then
use this cache instead quering rpm (others calls).
=item B<-clear-cache>
to remove cache file. Can be used with -use-cache to write
a new cache.
=item B<-gui>
display a graphical interface which allow to show informations, remove packages
(an internal help is provided). This is currently the same as the -tk option
=item B<-tk>
display a tk graphical interface which allow to show informations, remove packages
(an internal help is provided). The Tk perl module is necessary to run the gui.
=item B<-curses>
display a curses graphical interface which allow to show informations, remove packages
(an internal help is provided). The Curses::UI perl module is necessary to run the gui.
=item B<-exclude>
this option will specify the packages to exclude from the output.
Can be used as '--exclude pac1 --exclude pac2'
or '--exclude "pac1, pac2"'
=item B<-install-time>
install-time is a filter on the period from the package installation date to now (in days).
if set positive, it only allow packages installed before x days.
if set negative, it only allow packages installed since x days.
=item B<-access-time>
access-time is designed to filter packages which have not been used since x days.
be careful : this option will slow the program
=item B<-fullalgo>
for a small list of packages, rpmorphan use a different quicker methode : rpm -e --test
this option can be used to force the use of the full algo
=item B<-suggests>
some rpm version offers a meta-data dependency call suggests : it is
for usefull but not necessary packages. if this option is set, the
suggested packages are used in rpmorphan as required packages.
The default value for this option is unset.
=item B<-package>
search if the given package(s) is(are) orphaned.
Can be used as '--package pac1 --package pac2'
or '--package "pac1, pac2"'
=item B<-all>
apply on all installed packages. The output should be interpreted.
For example lilo or grub are orphaned packages, but are necessary
to boot ...
the L-install-time> and L-access-time> options may be useful to filter the list
=item B<-guess-perl>
This option tries to find perl modules. It tries to match "^perl"
=item B<-guess-python>
This option tries to find python modules. It tries to match "^python"
=item B<-guess-pike>
This option tries to find pike modules. It tries to match "^pike"
=item B<-guess-ruby>
This option tries to find ruby modules. It tries to match "^ruby"
=item B<-guess-common>
This option tries to find common packages. It tries to match "-common$"
=item B<-guess-data>
This option tries to find data packages. It tries to match "-data$"
=item B<-guess-doc>
This option tries to find documentation packages. It tries to match "-doc$"
=item B<-guess-data>
This option tries to find data packages. It tries to match "-data$"
=item B<-guess-dev>
This option tries to find development packages. It tries to match "-devel$"
=item B<-guess-lib>
This option tries to find library packages. It tries to match "^lib"
=item B<-guess-all>
This is a short to tell : Try all of the above (perl, python ...)
=item B<-guess-custom>
this will allow you to specify your own filter. for exemple "^wh"
will match whois, whatsnewfm ...
=item B<-keep-file>
define the keep file to be used. If not set, the /var/lib/rpmorphan/keep will be used
=item B<-list-keep>
list the permanent list of excluded packages and exit.
=item B<-zero-keep>
empty the permanent list of excluded packages and exit.
=item B<-add-keep>
add package(s) to the permanent list of excluded packages and exit.
Can be used as '--add-keep pac1 --add-keep pac2'
or '--add-keep "pac1, pac2"'
=item B<-del-keep>
remove package(s) from the permanent list of excluded packages and exit.
Can be used as '--add-keep pac1 --add-keep pac2'
or '--add-keep "pac1, pac2"'
=back
=head1 USAGE
rpmorphan can be useful after a distribution upgrade, to remove packages forgotten
by the upgrade tool. It is interesting to use the options "-all -install-time +xx'.
If you want to remove some recent tested packages, my advice is "-all -install-time -xx'.
if you just want to clean your disk, use '-all -access-time xxx'
=head1 FILES
/var/lib/rpmorphan/keep : the permanent exclude list
/tmp/rpmorphan.cache : cache file to store rpm query. The cache
file is common to all rpmorphan tools
/var/log/rpmorphan.log : log of all deleted packages
=head1 CONFIGURATION
the program can read rcfile if some exists.
it will load in order
/etc/rpmorphanrc
~/.rpmorphanrc
.rpmorphanrc
In this file,
# are comments,
and parameters are stored in the following format :
parameter = value
example :
all = 1
curses = 1
=head1 DEPENDENCIES
rpmorphan uses standard perl module in console mode.
If you want to use the Tk graphical interface, you should install the Tk module
(perl-Tk rpm package).
If you want to use the curses interface, you should install the Curses::UI perl module
( perl-Curses-UI rpm package).
If you want to speed up rpmorphan, you should install the RPM2 perl module ( perl-RPM2 rpm package).
On mandriva, the URPM perl module (dependency from urpmi) will be used instead.
=head1 EXAMPLES
=over 8
=item display orphaned libraries
rpmorphan
=item display all orphaned packages in a curses interface
rpmorphan --all --curses
=item display orphaned packages, not used since one year
rpmorphan --all -access-time +365
=item display all orphaned packages, installed in the last 10 days
rpmorphan --all -install-time -10
=item display all orphaned packages, installed one month ago (or more)
rpmorphan --all -install-time +30

=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
Virtuals packages are not well (for now) taken in account.
Let's see an example : lilo and grub provide 'bootloader' virtual, which is
necessary for system boot.
if the 2 are installed, they will be shown all 2 as orphans (but you can not remove
the 2).
If you remove one of them, the other is now longer shown as orphan.
the software can only work with one version of each software :
we only treat the first version seen
=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES
not known
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
to be written
=head1 NOTES
this program can be used as "normal" user to show orphans,
but you need to run it as supersuser (root) to remove packages
or apply changes in the permanent exclude list
access-time and install-time options are "new" features, not available
in deborphan tool
For Fedora users :
Yum offers a program called 'package-cleanup' which,
called with the '--leaves' option, can show quickly a list of
unused library packages.
For Mandriva users :
the 'urpme --auto-orphans' command show quickly a a list of
unused library packages.
