+===== Housekeeping =====
+When ports are updated, the old port is only deactivated, not uninstalled:
+<code>
+...
+autoconf                       @2.69_2
+autoconf                       @2.69_3
+autoconf                       @2.69_5
+...
+</code>
+You can see a list of all installed ports:
+<code bash>
+port echo installed
+</code>
+After you run MacPorts for a while, you will see a lot of duplicate ports.
+You can clean these:
+<code bash>
+sudo port uninstall inactive
