Hi,
Before you start messing around like this, have you first made sure you
don't have a lot of unwanted stuff lying around you don't need.
sudo port list inactive
will show packages updated, but not active. Usually the result of an
update, which doesn't completely remove the old versions. You need to run
sudo port uninstall inactive
to do that

Hi all; I have an MB air with internal (smallish) SSD. I need some of
the programs provided by MacPorts at all times, but I'm happy to do
all builds while connected to a large-ish external HD. I just hit a
crisis when the /opt directories hit 27GB. So what I want to do is to
put as much as possible of the build environment onto the HD, and
substitute symbolic links on the SSD. I haven't tried to use it yet -
I'm assuming this is OK so long as nothing hard-links into these
directories.
The current status for the large directories in /opt is:
/opt/local/var/macports
build moved to HD
distfiles moved to HD
software not sure if this can be moved
/opt
lib I assume this can't be moved
libexec I assume this can't be moved
share I assume this can't be moved
(everything else is less than 250 MB, so not worth worrying about). So
far, I've saved about 12GB on the SSD, but that still leaves around
15GB (some of which may be Xcode-related rather than MacPorts, I'm not
sure where Xcode puts stuff). I'd like to go further if it's possible.
So I'd appreciate any suggestions, especially about
/opt/local/var/macports/software
Thanks and Best WIshes
Bob
