speaking of, is there any good way to automatically eliminate old unnecessary parts of the base? My technique has been to purge out my port testing jail, build a new one, redirect ls to files in both my jail and my real system, then go thru the diff seeing which ones are mine and which are standard... is there no automated mechanism?

No. Some people suggested doing find ${DIR} -type f -ctime +1 -delete -print after an installworld & mergemaster in the appropriate places to get rid of stale files, that worked for me quite okay (just don't do it in the not-so-appropriate places...)

should there be one? :)

An increasing number of people seem to believe that and there has been some discussion lately, which showed that there are also a large number of people opposing that (for reasons that remain unclear to me).
