Several things could occupy unneeded space. * unfinished builds (if you interrupted a build, or if a build failed): remove them with "sudo port clean all" * distfiles: remove them with "sudo port clean --dist all" * or remove both distfiles and unfinished builds simultaneously with "sudo port clean --all all" * inactive ports: uninstall them with "sudo port uninstall inactive" * unneeded ports: identify and uninstall them with the port_cutleaves tool _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
