I registered for the website on the naïve assumption that this would let me edit the wiki, but no. (Ridiculous.) Dan 2007/4/13, Elias Pipping <pipping@macports.org>:
You might find this link useful, too.

Hi,
I just checked my system for places where I can get a few megabytes of diskspace back and found that /opt/local/var/db/dports contains quite a lot of files. Essentially all software packages I installed are there once again. Is it safe to delete them? Is there a general procedure to free as much space as possible while keeping the ports intact?
Thanks in advance for any pointers,
