Thank you - I did not know about the port-* manages.
I see from port-reclaim(1) that there are man pages for several other port
commands, but I didn’t see a reference to these other man pages in the port(1)
man page. For user convenience, perhaps these could be added to the SEE ALSO
section?

Thanks for letting me know about this. I’ve turned on reminders.
FYI, I didn’t see these options mentioned in the man page for port(1)
Good point. I set up my routine upgrade script many years ago, before I
understood much about how MacPorts (and port) works. While fixing this
disconnect I found a couple of other usages that weren’t quite what I wanted.

Thanks for clarifying, I mis-typed the command I normally use (which you
mentioned below):
$ sudo port -u upgrade outdated
Based on your description, it may be safer to just do:
$ sudo port upgrade outdated
and periodically run:
$ sudo port reclaim
I have never seen a reminder to run port r

This command doesn't make a great deal of sense. You're asking MacPorts to
upgrade the "installed" ports (which includes those those that are outdated and
those that aren't) and also the "outdated"

To keep my ports up-to-date, I normally used the following about a once a week:

You mention running ‘port -u uninstall’ before ‘port self update’. Is there
some reason to do that instead of

"port reclaim" is part of the "port -u uninstall
(Resending, because I didn’t respond to the list) Just tried, and it listed
far too many ports as “Unrequested ports without requested dependents found”
along with the p5.26 ports for me to allow the wholesale deletion to go
forward. Looked like most of the ports I have installed.

I have been using MacPorts for years and never knew about this. I just ran
this on my system and it reclaimed nearly 2GB of space, which was awesome.
Thank you so much for mentioning this!
