[Slackbuilds-users] New orphans

[Jeremy Hansen]

As a follow-up, I made this to find any abandoned SlackBuilds that are
dependencies of SlackBuilds I maintain (luckily, there aren't any right
now).

It's pretty ugly since I just threw it together as a one-liner.

for i in $(for j in $(grep "jebrhansen" sbo-git/*/*/*.info | cut -d/ -f3);
do cat /var/lib/sbopkg/queues/$j.sqf 2> /dev/null | grep -v ^#; done | sort
-u); do grep -l orphaned sbo-git/*/$i/$i.info | rev | cut -d/ -f2-3 | rev;
done

If anyone wants to use it, just replace jebrhansen with something unique to
you in your .info (probably part of all of your email to guarantee it'll
just return yours).

I might play around with this in the next couple of days to make it a bit
more robust and possibly release it as a helper script.
