Is there a way to remove all installed ports? I want to start clean and before I install a port, I want to see if the port is the latest version of the software, if not, I want to try to upgrade the port.
I'm not sure if there's a good way to remove all ports, but keep the MacPorts infrastructure. You could try: sudo port -f uninstall installed but I haven't tried that myself because I'd like to keep my ports installed. :-) There are instructions however for removing all of MacPorts here: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/ FAQ#HowdoIremoveoruninstallMacPorts Then you can download the MacPorts 1.5.0 disk image, install it, and "sudo port selfupdate" to the latest 1.5.2 version and be on your way.
