Hi, I have looked for real answers regarding this question through the mailing list, but did not really understand the purpose of these files. I have almost 5Gb of archives (tbz2) in /opt/local/var/macports/software. I have already run the port uninstall inactive command, so from my understanding, what remains in this path is from currently active and used ports.
What I don’t understand, and does not seem to be clear from any posts I have read regarding the matter, is why should these archives be kept ? I understand that port first compress the binaries in those files, and later extracts them to /opt/local during the activation. But once those ports are activated, why should we still keep them ? Thanks! _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
