This was for creating the locate database with thoughts of how long it
would take to do this upon every port snapshot.

No problem but just for clarity.

This was on the client side but as well could be done server side from
running the following.

#!/bin/sh
export LOCATE_PATH=/usr/ports/locate.databasea
for distinfo in $(locate "/usr/ports/*/*/distinfo"); do
grep SIZE $distinfo >>DISTINDEX.8.1
done

I also found it to be a problem that one didn't have the choice of
keeping distfiles that belonged to uninstalled ports, but were not
stale. Fortunately, besides 'portsclean -D' from
ports-mgmt/portupgrade*, there is also sobomax@'s convenient shell
script, ports/Tools/scripts/distclean.sh, which fills this niche and
uses only base system utilities.

.... I guess you didn't read all the way down in the thread? I added the
feature, 'portmaster -t --clean-distfiles[-all]' will take care of it.

BTW, I've had very close to zero response to my request for testers, and
while I appreciate the fact that everyone has great confidence in me,
*I* would feel a lot better if more people gave this a look. :)

One way or another I'm hoping to commit to the ports tree before the
weekend.
