"software" is the end result of all the ports you've installed; don't clean that up except by "sudo port uninstall"ing whatever ports you no longer want to have installed. Feel free to remove any "distfiles" you don't want to keep; MacPorts will re-download them as needed. I posted a script here (deleteolddistfiles) a day or two ago that I use to remove distfiles older than a certain age; this lets me keep recent distfiles around in case I need to rebuild a port, but clears out distfiles unlikely to be used again. Remove everything in "build" if you like; this contains in-progress builds of ports. If a build fails, the build directory remains. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
