Please, by the time I realized I needed a list of requested ports -- for running the script at the end, it was gone. > The requested status of the ports will also not be preserved, since it is not available to the script. I'm looking at a file -- myports.txt -- that is useless to me: keybouncembp:~ michael$ head myports.txt apple-gcc42 @5666.3_7 platform='darwin 11' archs='x86_64' apple-gcc42 @5666.3_9 (active) platform='darwin 11' archs='x86_64' cctools @822_2+llvm30 platform='darwin 11' archs='x86_64' cctools @829_1+llvm30 (active) platform='darwin 11' archs='x86_64' cctools-headers @822_2 platform='darwin 11' archs='noarch' ... As soon as I saw this, I realized I was much better off getting the list of requested ports, and working from that, rather than trying to make sense of multiple versions of different ports that were no longer needed -- but all the requested information is now gone! Additionally: > sudo port clean all is trying to clean every port known to macports, whether or not I've ever seen it -- not only does it take forever, for all I know it's creating directories and status files for each port as it goes. So ... I'm hosed. My port registry is now useless. Restoring from Time Machine, and reviewing what I had as "requested", and going from there instead. -- Political and economic blog of a strict constitutionalist http://StrictConstitution.BlogSpot.com This message may have been spell checked by a laptop kitten.
