08/08/2022, 4:40 PMThe only way I know of doing this is to run CFPM and do a info <packagename> for all the packages

08/08/2022, 4:41 PMso you can do list, then info <packagename> for each one

08/08/2022, 4:42 PMAre you familiar with CFPM?

08/08/2022, 4:47 PMI'm a bit familiar. All I can see is an extremely brief description for each (one sentence) and a list of required JARs.

08/08/2022, 4:54 PMYeah we don't have a list of functions which require certain packages. I mean, that data (I assume) exists, as you run the scanner and it will tell you what your code needs.

08/08/2022, 4:55 PMSo like what I've done before is to empty all packages (except for admin as that's required) then run scan, which treeshakes and shows you all required packages, then you can do an install on just those using CFPM and a list

08/08/2022, 4:55 PMtiny bit clunky though, and I'd like to have that in the UI at some point
