pkg-orphan is a console utility for managing orphan, i.e.
unreferenced FreeBSD packages. It finds all or selected
orphans and lets the user choose which ones to remove and
which ones to keep. It maintains a keep-list file, so
previously kept packages will be skipped automatically. In
batch mode, all packages, not present in the keep-list are
either deleted or kept in the list.
Since orphan packages are usually much fewer than non-orphan
ones, it can be useful for quickly finding and deleting
unused packages, even on a system with hundreds of them
installed.
Features:
- interactive and batch modes
- maintains a kept package list, to avoid asking for the same package again
- can delete packages recursively, but without deleting shared dependencies or
previously kept packages
- the keep-list file does not contain package versions, so upgrades generally
don't require editing of the file

Ever wondered why your hard disk is full or what directory and
files take up most of the space? With GdMap these questions can
be answered quickly. To display directory structures cushion
treemaps are used which visualize a complete folder or even the
whole hard drive with one picture.
Cushion treemaps display directories and files in rectangular areas.
The larger a file is the larger is the rectangle which represents it.
All files in one directory are painted within the rectangle of that directory.

The release notes can be found at

FreeBSD specific additions and fixes have been made. For example, this
release offers fixed ACPI support as well as new CPU freqeuncy monitoring
support. See the FreeBSD GNOME 2.10 upgrade page at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/docs/faq210.html for the entire list as well
as a list of known issues and upgrade instructions.
GNOME 2.10, as well as all of our releases, would not be possible without
the great team that goes into porting and testign each and every component.
Thanks definitely goes out to ahze, adamw, bland, kwm, mezz, and pav for all
their work. We would also like to thank our adventurous users that chose to
ride the walrus. We'd especially like to thank the following users that
provided patches for GNOME 2.10:
ade
Yasuda Keisuke
Franz Klammer
Khairil Yusof
Radek Kozlowsk
And anyone else I may have accidentally omitted.
As with GNOME 2.8, 2.10 comes with a brand-spankin' new splashscreen
courtesy of Franz Klammer. However, unlike GNOME 2.8, we've included all
of the FreeBSD GNOME splashscreen entries with gnomesession. You can
use the deskutils/splashsetter port to choose the one you like best.
As always, GNOME users should _not_ use portupgrade alone to upgrade to
2.10. Instead, get the gnome_upgrade.sh script from
http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/gnome_upgrade.sh.
