Hi, While browsing my MacPorts tree in /opt/local, I found a lot of files with an .mp_* extension. For example in /opt/local/bin, there's
> ls *.mp_* a2p.mp_1226917442 perl5.8.8.mp_1226917442 pod2usage.mp_1226917443 c2ph.mp_1226917442 perlbug.mp_1226917442 podchecker.mp_1226917443 cpan.mp_1226917442 perlcc.mp_1226917442 podselect.mp_1226917443 dprofpp.mp_1226917442 perldoc.mp_1226917443 prove.mp_1226917443 enc2xs.mp_1226917442 perlivp.mp_1226917443 psed.mp_1226917443 find2perl.mp_1226917442 piconv.mp_1226917443 pstruct.mp_1226917443 h2ph.mp_1226917442 pl2pm.mp_1226917443 s2p.mp_1226917443 h2xs.mp_1226917442 pod2html.mp_1226917443 splain.mp_1226917443 instmodsh.mp_1226917442 pod2latex.mp_1226917443 xsubpp.mp_1226917443 libnetcfg.mp_1226917442 pod2man.mp_1226917443 perl.mp_1226917442 pod2text.mp_1226917443 and throughout the entire /opt/local tree, there's about 1300 files with that extension, totalling 31 MB. What are these? I can only assume they're some kind of backup (made during an upgrade of a certain port?) For example, there's perl5.8.8.mp_1226917442, but I don't have a perl 5.8.8 port installed, it's at 5.8.9. port provides /opt/local/bin/perl5.8.8.mp_1226917442 also tells me the file is not owned by any port I have installed. Are these files safe to delete blindly, and why are they there in the first place? I'm running MacPorts 1.710, btw. Thanks for any info... Cheers, Wouter -- Murphy's Law is recursive.
