Hi Ryan,

> If you mean /opt/local/var/macports/software, that's where the compressed archives of all your installed ports are stored. You are not meant to interact with this directory manually. To remove an archive from this directory, uninstall the corresponding port. If you're still using the port and don't wish to uninstall it, then you should not delete the corresponding archive in this directory, or you won't be able to re-activate the port if you deactivate it. There may be other aspects of MacPorts that also assume you have not tampered with the contents of this directory.

Well, I'm a grownup and willing to take these chances.  I don't
play with activate/deactivate.  I know of no other distros that
"wastes" that kind of disk space for that.  That some wish to
use this feature, fine.  But I need those gigs back.
