New description:

 Hi Robert! Just wanted to make a short suggestion/request. Would it be
 possible to include the ability to provide either an exact version or a
 glob pattern to other than the '--archive' switch of the clean target? I
 just attempted an update of my installed ports and found myself still
 doing a lot of manual cleaning, specially with distfiles. Here's why I
 ask:

 {{{
 $[juan at PowerBook: juan](25/0,1)-> ls
 /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/adium/
 total 28768
 -rw-r--r--  1 root  admin       6M 25 Jan 00:24
 AdiumX_Source_0.75.1.tar.gz
 -rw-r--r--  1 root  admin       7M 31 Jan 23:48 AdiumX_Source_0.76.tar.gz

 $[juan at PowerBook: juan](26/0,1)-> sudo port -d clean --dist adium 0.75.1
 DEBUG: Found port in
 file:///usr/local/OpenDarwin/darwinports/dports/aqua/adium
 DEBUG: Changing to port directory:

 $[juan at PowerBook: juan](27/0,1)-> ls
 /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/adium/
 ls: /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/adium/: No such file or directory
 }}}

         I tried to remove *only* the 0.75.1 Adium distfile in a similar
 fashion as I would have done with the archives, but instead all of them
 were nuked in one go along with distfiles/adium dir. Can this be improved?

         Regards,...


                 Juan
