Instead we should clean just the ports that have incomplete builds (probably just a few in most cases) which can be found by looking at /opt/local/var/macports/builds and /optlocal/var/macports/logs I think, saving a lot of time.

Assuming default prefix would this [1] cover it?

> 2. The list of ports generated in myports.txt and requested.txt will include ports that are deactivated, including one line for each version of a port, whether active or not. One line total regardless of number of versions would be sufficient. Re-installing deactivated ports should probably not be done by default since that is not returning you to the original state and there was probably a reason (such as conflicts) why the ports were deactivated.

Untested, try this [2] to only install requested ports WITH variants. I’m not sure the last sed match works if there are variants name ".*_[0-9]".


[1] for port in $(find /opt/local/var/macports/{build,logs} -depth 2 -type d | awk -F/ '{print $NF}') ; do sudo port clean $port ; done
[2] port -q installed requested and active | sed -e 's,^ *,,' -e 's, (active),,' -e 's,@[^_]*_[0-9]*,,’
