port echo requested dupes

2014-02-08 Thread Samuel Halliday
Hi all,

If I issue a “port echo requested” there are always tonnes of dupes in there… 
and I have to uninstall specific versions.

How can I easily purge all old copies of ports so that they don’t show up here?

sudo port uninstall inactive

If you like driving without a seatbelt, you can add -u to port upgrade to
uninstall instead of deactivating old versions; if something fails to
upgrade, getting back to a working state may be harder.
