Anyone know of a prewritten script or something that can help me keep track of extraneous rpms, that I can remove without running into dependancies. Basically I'd like to keep up with a list of installed rpm's that aren't needed by other packages currently installed. With a list like this I could find orphaned packages that I no longer need and can safely remove without running into dependancy problems. I guess its sort of like an rpm pruning tool. Now I don't know if this feature should be rolled into grab...but having a quick and dirty tool to keep my from collecting cruft on my system. I could probably bang together a little shell script to do it using rpm -q statements, but I was wondering if something had already been written.
