You can use this to remove inactive ports: sudo port uninstall inactive You will gain additional space by removing downloaded distfiles with: sudo port clean --all installed But there is no way to find orphaned ports, as MacPorts does not track if ports are installed as dependency or by request. But there is the tool port_cutleaves which allows to remove possible no longer needed ports. sudo port install port_cutleaves sudo port_cutleaves Rainer _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
