(whoops, forgot to CC the list in my reply to Kirill...)
Ah! That certainly looks helpful. Specifically, "portsclean -D", since I
often deinstall and reinstall ports on different machines on my LAN
(shared ports tree, hence shared distfiles directory). However, it is
good to know that the -DD switch is there too.
/me tries it out...
titan% ls /usr/ports/distfiles | wc -l
312
titan% portsclean -D
<snip output>
titan% ls /usr/ports/distfiles | wc -l
218
Somewhat surprising since I thought I had nailed most of the stale ones
manually! :)
Thanks.
