Perhaps you meant to clean only the *installed* ports. But I'm still
not clear why. I think MacPorts automatically cleans each port after
it's installed, so you really shouldn't need to clean the installed
ports.
port automatically cleans the work (build) directory, but not the
distfiles and the archives, which port clean --all does. So it is a
way
to gain some disk files as distfiles can begin to pile up if there are
frequent updates. Uninstalling inactive ports frees a lot of room too.
Ahhh yes. Yes indeed.
So it would probably be better for the nhc98 port (and any others
that do it that way) not to do a ui_msg and exit simply when an auto-
selected variant is set. Rather, that should be moved to the pre-
configure phase, maybe.
