#26007: port clean doesn't conform to the man page instructions ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: paulbeard@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: port clean | Port: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by paulbeard@…): Replying to [comment:1 blb@…]:
{{{--all}}} and {{{all}}} are actually different, and you can use them both as in {{{port clean --all all}}} as {{{--all}}} applies to whichever port(s) is given to clean and {{{all}}} is the actual port to clean.
The examples in the man page could also include {{{port clean --all vim}}}, would that help make it clearer?
Why not just make {{{port clean all}}} work as expected/advertised? That works but why would anyone do that? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26007#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
