As far as I know port reclaim is only in development versions of MacPorts at the moment and has not found its way into a released version yet. This of course means that you might have to expect the occasional bug or two, but overall I think the reclaim code is pretty well tested by now. Reclaim does two things: First, it does the equivalent of uninstall inactive, and then it locates all source code files that are no longer used by any of your installed ports and offers to delete them. I don't use the first part of the functionality (because I usually do uninstall inactive manually), but I can vouch that the second part works well in current trunk. Additionally, may I suggest port_cutleaves (available in the equally named port) to save more disk space on things you no longer need? -- Clemens _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
