Hi,
how can I be sure that reclaim doesn't remove stuff that I actually
need? Fine removing older inactive versions, but not the current active
one (except, perhaps, if it was installed as a no-longer needed
depdendency).
I ask, because once it happened to loose half of my ports! So I checked.
Right now it tells me, e.g.:
---> Checking for unnecessary unrequested ports
Unrequested ports without requested dependents found:
clang-3.4 @3.4.2_12+analyzer
clang-5.0 @5.0.2_2+analyzer+libstdcxx
clang-5.0 @5.0.2_3+analyzer+emulated_tls+libstdcxx
<... etc>
but if I check:
port installed clang-5.0
The following ports are currently installed:
clang-5.0 @5.0.2_2+analyzer+libstdcxx
clang-5.0 @5.0.2_3+analyzer+emulated_tls+libstdcxx (active)
port installed clang-3.4
The following ports are currently installed:
clang-3.4 @3.4.2_12+analyzer (active)
Wouldn't reclaim remove also the current active port?
