I know that when I do an update, by default, the old port is deactivated, but not uninstalled. And, if I want to get rid of old ports I can do: sudo port -u uninstall
However, I just noticed that macports seems to still leave around the distribution files. For example, I have qt4-mac installed, and a few old versions from prior updates. But I have a number of prior distributions, going back even further, and each one is ~100 meg. So just my /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/qt4-mac directory is 1.5 gig! My question is whether there is an easy way to clean out all of the old distributions? I suppose I could just go and search through every one and rm any old ones that I don't want, but that seems like a bunch of extra work (and could it confuse macports?). Also, are there any other old files around that "sudo port -u uninstall" will not get rid of? Is the right way to go just to do: sudo port clean --all uninstalled Thanks, --Adam _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
