Deleting outdated archives

[André Kaplan]

Hi Linc,

I don't know any such tool in macports but I'd be curious to know if  
one exists.

If you want to clean the archive of an old port you have to specify  
its version and variants.
In my last batch of cleaning:
$ sudo port -v clean --all gmake @3.81_0
You might want to use --archive instead of --all but I also don't want  
too much clutter in the distfiles directory.

If gmake had variants you would write something like:
$ sudo port -v clean --all gmake @3.81_0+variant1+variant2

Some variants like macosx, darwin* don't need to be specified.

Anyway I wrote a script which helps me keeping the archive folder clean.

Regards,
André

Does anyone know of a way to automatically delete outdated archives of  
ports that aren't necessarily installed? I archive and uninstall the  
unrequested build dependencies of my requested ports after each update  
session. When those dependencies are updated, I end up with archives  
of the previous versions that have to be removed manually. I've tried  
things like 'port clean --archive ...' but I don't see any way to  
specify that archives of versions other than the current one are to be  
deleted. 'port clean --archive outdated' doesn't work because it  
misses uninstalled ports. Thanks for suggestions.
