Unfortunately, the pkg2ng utility has no way of knowing which old-style packages it converts were installed automatically as dependencies, so they are all marked as non-automatic (i.e. user-requested). In my case, this was not true for the majority of installed ports.

(Plus I wanted an excuse to play with dialog(1) and "pkg query" a bit.) So here's the result. I'm not too attached to the name. It shouldn't eat your package database or steal your lunch money, but I'm not responsible if it does.

Since I didn't come up with a fast way to list the packages not in the 'automatic' list, I first set all packages to 0 (not automatic), then set the ones in the list to 1. This is likely slower than the SQL variant was, but it's not bad and not something likely to be run frequently. > > JN Thanks you should be enough, can you provide a git format-patch patch so that you get your name in the logs :D regards, Bapt
