#24801: delete var/macports/distfiles ? ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: Andreas.Krueger2@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: hd space | Port: all ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles takes up almost one GB, and contains archives (.bz2 & .gz) only? Is that a folder containing only the "installers"? Especially Qt & TeX are really big. Can I delete the contents of that folder, or will that cause problems? thx! -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/24801> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
