To keep my ports up-to-date, I normally used the following about a once a week:
$ sudo port selfupdate $ sudo port -u upgrade outdated to which I now plan to add: $ sudo port reclaim You mention running ‘port -u uninstall’ before ‘port self update’. Is there some reason to do that instead of using the -u option when running ‘port upgrade outdated’?
