next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
lately, ive been exclusively doing 'make package-recursive' and  
'portupgrade -apP', and have thus collected quite a lot of packages  
over the past 6 months (which use to keep multiple systems updated).

on my NFS server, my /usr/ports/packages/All directory has built up  
many incrementing versions of the same packages.  is there a way to  
keep the ./All directory culled back match whatever is in ./Latest?

im not a programmer and am about as novice as you can get when it  
comes to shell scripting, but im seeing somethign that could compare  
./Latest with ./All, and anything that is linked from Latest to All  
would be kept, and anything that no longer has a symlink, would be  
purged.

can anyone help me out with a nice way of doing this?
