Cleaning MacPorts from old (unused) ports versions
Hi all, As I was following a suggestion to my previous email, I stumbled upon a different issue: ~]$ sudo port uninstall grace Password: --- The following versions of grace are currently installed: --- grace @5.1.23_1 --- grace @5.1.23_2 --- grace @5.1.23_3 --- grace @5.1.25_0 (active) Error: port uninstall failed: Registry error: Please specify the full version as recorded in the port registry. So, there were 4 (!) versions of grace installed! That should be remnants of old MacPorts installations. I suppose similar multiple versions must be present for a number of different ports. My question is: is there a way to hunt and remove those older versions of ports? (preferably, some automatic way to remove them all, from all programs?) Thanks, Gustavo Seabra ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

I generally let them pile up over 3-4 upgrades and then remove all at once before selfupdate. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonadhttp://sinenomine.net ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
