I currently have just over 8GB is /usr/ports/distfiles. Some of these files are more than 10 years old and long obsolete. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to identify which files are no longer referenced by current ports? Doing a 'make checksum' on every installed port and then looking at the atimes is one approach but this doesn't handle: - ports that I don't currently have installed but might need - ports installed on systems that mount /usr/ports readonly -- Peter Jeremy
