simple question...how to show packages which depend upon a particular port

Hi peeps,

I'm almost ashamed to ask this BUT I really don't know
how to find the packages which depend upon a
particular port.

In this case, a portversion -l "<" showed
mysql-client
in that list. I can't recall having installed it by
myself I wanted to know what the packages are which
depend on it. Can somebody show me this
command......and if it will be a RTFM answer, please
tell me which FM

Thanks

pkg_info -R port-name-*

(-r does the inverse, packages on which port-name depends)

	Cheers,

Also, if you're into gui things, gpkgdep is pretty handy as
it will show 
you the whole dependency tree rather than just the first
level dependencies.

HTH,

Did you install mysql-server with default options? 
Actually, in
mysql51-server port, there is no option to disable install
of the
client portion.

Here are some of the ways not requiring connection to
Internet I
know ...

  - running "make -V {LIB,RUN,BUILD}_DEPENDS" in a
port directory
    also lists the appropriate type of dependency list, so
would
    running "make
pretty-print-{run,build}-depends-list";

  - pkg_info(1) w/ -[rR] options lists the dependencies for
given
    ports|packages;

  - ${PORTSDIR:-/usr/ports}/INDEX* lists dependencies for
each port
    (which may need post processing to be human readable);

  - sysutils/pkg_tree port creates text tree of the
dependencies;


As for FM, see ...

  - pkg_info(1) & pkg_tree(7)  man pages;

  - ${PORTSDIR:-/usr/ports}/Mk/bsd.port.mk


  - Parv
