Subject: Re: Removing all non-requested ports?
sudo port uninstall leaves
sometimes you need to run it more than once to pick everything up.
that said, I use
sudo port reclaim
these days which does the above, and a bit more.

What's the command to remove non-requested ports again?
The problem with `port reclaim` is that it wipes out all build
dependencies, so the next time you upgrade or install something, many of
those need to be reinstalled. `port_cutleaves -b` (a standalone port)
will keep build dependencies. I'm not sure why `reclaim` doesn't provide
such an option. On the other hand, `port_cutleaves` doesn't have an
"all" or "recursive" option, so you have to repeatedly enter `u` and
`y`. That is the safe way, I suppose.
