lately, ive been exclusively doing 'make package-recursive' and
'portupgrade -apP', and have thus collected quite a lot of packages
over the past 6 months (which use to keep multiple systems updated).
on my NFS server, my /usr/ports/packages/All directory has built up
many incrementing versions of the same packages. is there a way
to keep the ./All directory culled back match whatever is in
./Latest?
im not a programmer and am about as novice as you can get when it
comes to shell scripting, but im seeing somethign that could
compare ./Latest with ./All, and anything that is linked from
Latest to All would be kept, and anything that no longer has a
symlink, would be purged.
can anyone help me out with a nice way of doing this?
I think that's what portsclean -P is all about.

find out that portsclean takes care of the job. funny, that ive been
using -C and -D forever. :)
